An attractive herbaceous perennial suitable for part to full shade gardens as a ground cover. Deep electric lavender-blue flowers develop during spring and summer above the highly decorative purple-green fern like foliage. Leaves appear ladder-like, hence the common name- Jacob's Ladder. Slender purple stems clothes with purple leaves carry clusters of cupped flowers, creating an upright clump that flowers for months.
Ideal as colour in shady areas or planted under trees, shady rockeries, container gardens or perennial gardens. Sterile form.
