Growing Jacob's ladder 'White Pearl' is a joy for anyone looking for undemanding beauty with minimal worries, provided you give it the most important thing – moisture. This plant, which you will receive as an already established seedling, loves moister, humus-rich soils. It will find an ideal location in partial shade, where the soil does not dry out as quickly as in direct, scorching sun. If you still want to plant it in a sunny spot, you must expect the need for more frequent and regular watering. The soil should be loamy, well-drained, and rich in nutrients so the plant can grow vigorously and bloom profusely. Avoid spots that are distinctly dry or sandy; Jacob's ladder would languish there and bloom only a little.
We plant the seedlings in prepared soil so they have plenty of space around them; the recommended spacing is 40 cm, which corresponds to approximately 6 to 9 plants per square meter. Thanks to this, air will flow between the plants, which is a prevention against potential fungal diseases, although Jacob's ladder is generally very healthy and does not suffer from diseases or pests. After planting, water the plants thoroughly and monitor the moisture of the substrate in the first few weeks until they are sufficiently rooted. To retain moisture in the soil, it is very beneficial to mulch the area around the plants with bark or wood chips, which you will appreciate especially on hot summer days.
One of the most interesting tricks when growing this perennial is working with its blooming. As soon as the plant finishes blooming in June or July, a complete cutback is recommended. Don't be afraid to cut the stems deep; Jacob's ladder reacts very positively to this intervention. It will sprout vigorously again, form fresh clumps of leaves, and in September it will often surprise you with a repeat bloom. If you grow Jacob's ladder for cutting into a vase, harvest the stems when the first third of the flowers has opened. They will stay fresh in water for seven to ten days.
As for wintering, Jacob's ladder is extremely hardy. Its frost resistance reaches down to -40 °C, so it overwinters in our conditions absolutely without problems and does not require any special winter protection or covering with spruce branches. If you would like to grow this beauty in containers or a planter, it is possible, but it requires increased care. The container must be sufficiently large and, above all, you must ensure that the substrate never dries out completely. In a pot, the soil heats up and dries out much faster than in a flowerbed, so growing in containers is better suited for more experienced growers who will not forget daily watering.
The information given is based on our experience, please use it as a guide only. Times may vary depending on the season, climate, location, sowing and transplanting dates and possibly also the conditions in the greenhouse/greenhouse. We always recommend testing how the plant performs in your conditions. Please do not take this as a guarantee.
