Jacob's ladder

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.
