'Jacob's Ladders'
Plants grow 12 to 15 inches tall and produce a large number of medium violet to soft blue flowers. A good repeat bloomer if kept dead headed. Large attractive leaves with many rows of leaflets and an open showy display of flowers starting in late spring. The flowers are good sized and somewhat cup shaped but what makes this different from many of the other 'Jacob's Ladders' is that the flowers are produced in bushy masses just above the foliage instead of being on tall spikes. Use in light, open shade or better yet, in half day sun, more sun in the north. Plant in well draining, moisture retentive soils. Attractive in the spring. Divide every three years. A very nice selection, showy in the garden over many weeks.
Zones (3)4-8. Lightly cover seeds and use F 68, germination is spread out over a few weeks and starts in 10-25 days after sowing and can be spread-out over a number of weeks.
50 seeds.
