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.
