Planted in part shade in Zone 5 and it has been thriving for its second year now. Beautiful dark foliage with perfect little purple flowers that keep on blooming. Gorgeous scent and the name portrays! One of my favorite perriennials!

Jacob's Ladder is beautiful and hardy. Planted this in shade zone 4 where we lose a lot of shrubs and plants for the cold winters and heaped up snow. Came up beautifully late spring and is flowering throughout June with beautiful soft bluish-purple flowers. Leaves almost appear like ferns. Strikingly beautiful and one of the few plants we can grow here.

I bought several of these in early May. Both the blooms and foliage were stunning. I had to keep them in their containers for several weeks until my new garden bed was prepped and it was ready to be planted. They went through a period of looking floppy and yellow. As soon as I planted them they perked back up and are beautiful again. They get quite a bit of afternoon sun and are still performing wonderfully. I love this plant!
