Polemonium yezoense var. hidakanum 'Purple Rain' - Hokkaido Jacob's Ladder
Couldn't load pickup availability
Sizes available: Trade gallon (#1), recently cut back
Basics: zones 4-9, 18-24" x 12-15", sun to part shade, early to mid-summer, violet-colored bloom, over green, fern-like foliage with maroon undertones. These undertones are more pronounced with more sun, consistent moisture, not too fussy about pH or soil type.
Common names: Hokkaido Jacob's Ladder
Family: Polemoniaceae
Origin/Distribution: The species is native to Hokkaido, which is the northernmost of Japan's main islands
Habitat: The species is found in both grass meadows and rocky slopes. It will be an adaptable garden collaborator.
More: I love the look of this plant. The foliage is attractive even when not in flower, and it makes a good cut flower. It has a much longer stem length than Polemonium reptans and wants more sun than that plant.
