Polemonium reptans - Stairway to Heaven
‘Stairway to Heaven’ is an exquisite variegated cultivar of the native Jacob’s Ladder, celebrated for its bright green, pinnate foliage edged in creamy white that takes on a charming pink blush in cooler temperatures. In mid to late spring, it elevates its low, mounded form (approximately 12–18 in tall and wide) with graceful stems bearing soft lavender-blue, bell-shaped flowers featuring white stamens. Perfect for woodland borders, shaded rock gardens, and naturalized areas, this deer-resistant, easy-to-grow perennial adds enduring seasonal beauty.
