Polemonium Golden Feathers is a newly introduced variegated variety that promises to be a captivating addition to any garden. It effortlessly lights up borders and containers, ensuring a mesmerising display even without its blossoms. The hallmark of this variety lies in its golden edged leaves, which, unlike other Polemonium, remain steadfast in their vibrant hue and do not revert to green. Come spring and early summer, prepare for a visual treat as lilac-mauve, bell-shaped flowers ascend on erect stems, complementing the gold and green foliage beneath.
Commonly referred to as Jacob’s Ladder, the name Polemonium is attributed to its uniquely paired leaves that mimic the rungs of a ladder. This plant, with its cottage-garden appeal, is also a choice pick for wildlife-friendly borders. It thrives best in moist, well-drained soil, under sun or partial shade. Boasting a mature height of 50cm and a spread of 40cm, Polemonium Golden Feathers is not just hardy but also free from the need for winter protection.
