Polemonium ‘Blue Whirl’, also known as Jacob’s Ladder, is a compact perennial with finely divided, fern-like foliage and soft lavender-blue flowers that bloom in late spring to early summer. Its elegant, lacy leaves form a neat clump, providing texture and interest even when not in flower. This variety is well-suited to partially shaded borders, woodland edges, or underplanting beneath shrubs. Easy to grow and loved by pollinators, Blue Whirl is a charming addition to any naturalistic or cottage-style planting scheme.

  • Soft Lavender-Blue Blooms: Delicate flowers appear from May to July

  • Shade Tolerant: Thrives in partial shade and cooler spots

  • Compact Habit: Reaches around 30–40cm tall – ideal for front-of-border or underplanting

  • Fern-Like Foliage: Attractive, lacy green leaves add texture throughout the season

  • Pollinator Friendly: Loved by bees and other beneficial insects

  • Low Maintenance: Easy to care for and generally pest-free

  • Cottage Garden Favourite: Perfect for informal borders and shaded garden corners

  • Good Companion Plant: Pairs well with ferns, hostas, and astrantias

Many garden designers recommend planting Polemonium in groups of three for a balanced, cohesive look. It helps the plants stand out together and creates a lovely flow in your garden. But don't worry—this plant also looks great on its own or in smaller groupings!
