Jacob's ladder

The White Pearl Jacob's ladder presents an elegant yet very resilient perennial that overwinters without problems in our conditions. The original species grows in damp habitats from Europe to Siberia, making it an ideal plant for humus-rich and moister soils. If you have a spot in the garden that is not explicitly dry, Jacob's ladder will reward you with vital growth and abundant blooming. Its leaves are divided and arranged so regularly that they resemble the rungs of a ladder. This is where its common name, Jacob's ladder, comes from. During June and July, stems with pure white flowers adorned with delicate yellow stamens tower above the clumps of leaves. The White Pearl variety grows to a height of around 80 centimeters and looks very airy in perennial beds. It is perfectly suited for partially shaded areas but will also tolerate sun if provided with regular watering. The flowers are a magnet for bees and other beneficial insects. Floristically, Jacob's ladder is valuable for its longevity and decorative appearance. We cut the stems the moment the first third of the flowers has bloomed, so they last as long as possible in a vase, which is usually seven to ten days. The pure white flower color of White Pearl is easy to combine and brings peace and harmony to summer arrangements. The plant does not suffer from pests or diseases and is also suitable for novice growers looking for undemanding beauty.

The Blue Pearl Jacob's ladder brings a piece of wild nature and the nostalgia of country gardens to the flower beds. This perennial is extremely hardy and handles even harsh frosts down to -40 °C without problems, so you don't have to worry about it in the winter. It naturally grows in moister habitats, so it will welcome humus-rich and well-drained soil that retains moisture. It will thrive in direct sun only provided there is sufficient watering, otherwise, it prefers partial shade, where its fresh green leaves form a beautiful undergrowth. Typical for it are delicate fresh green leaves and especially tender blue flowers, which attract bees and bumblebees. Furthermore, Jacob's ladder is a rewarding cut flower that adds airiness to bouquets. For a vase, we cut the stems when the first third of the flowers has bloomed, and they will stay fresh for up to 10 days. The Blue Pearl variety retains the original beauty of the botanical species with a pure shade of sky blue.

The Filigree Skies Jacob's ladder instantly catches the eye with its unusually fine, deeply cut leaves that at first glance resemble ferns. This leaf structure gives the plant lightness and elegance, making it stand out even when it is not currently blooming. The original species naturally occurs in moister meadows and forest margins, so it will welcome humus-rich and well-drained soil in the garden that does not completely dry out. It is an exceptionally resilient perennial that handles even severe frosts without problems, and even a complete beginner can manage its care. From late spring, stems carrying clusters of sky-blue flowers appear above the clump of decorative leaves. These act as a lure for beneficial insects and perfectly complement colorful perennial plantings. Due to its delicate appearance, Jacob's ladder is excellently suited for country gardens or partially shaded corners. Moreover, the flowers are long-lasting even after being cut. We cut them for a vase as soon as the first buds begin to open, ideally when about a third of the inflorescence is blooming. They stay fresh in water for more than a week and bring a piece of the summer sky right into your home.

The Filigree Clouds Jacob's ladder is a charming perennial that our ancestors have been growing in gardens since the 16th century. Its leaves are arranged so regularly on the stem that it earned the common name Jacob's ladder. This specific cultivar is distinguished by its finely cut leaves, which, combined with pure white flowers, look incredibly light and fluffy in the flower bed. The plant requires humus-rich and well-drained soil that should remain slightly moist, as it doesn't do well in drought. It thrives best in partial shade, but it can handle sun if it has plenty of moisture. It blooms from May to July and reliably attracts bees and other pollinators. If you want to use it in bouquets, harvest the stems when roughly a third of the little flowers are open. It will then bring you joy in a vase for seven to ten days. It is a frost-hardy and undemanding plant suitable even for novice gardeners.
