POLEMONIUM 'NORTHERN LIGHTS'

I think I must have three Polemoniums now, they are such attractive plants with pretty flowers and interesting foliage.  I planted this Polemonium 'Northern Lights' (Polemoniums are commonly called Jacob's Ladder) in a sunny border.








Polemonium 'Northern Lights' 16052016


















The label says that Polemonium 'Northern Lights' is a clump-forming, compact, fully hardy plant with delightful pale-blue fragrant flowers from May to July.  It regrows from ground level every year.  It achieves a height of 35cm (14in) and spread of 30cm (12in).  It likes fertile, well-drained and moist soil in full sun or partial-shade.  when the flowers have faded, cut back to encourage a second flush of flowers.
