The Blue Jacob's Ladder is a perennial early summer bloomer for semi-shade locations. Its name refers to a biblical passage in which Jacob dreams of a sky ladder. The feathered, elongated leaves of the blue sky ladder - as it is also called in the vernacular - remind a little of the rungs of a ladder.

From June the filigree, delicate sky-blue flowers appear, which can rarely be white. They are very rich in nectar and pollen and attract many bees, bumble bees and butterflies. In Germany, the Jacob's ladder is now unfortunately one of the endangered species. It loves nutrient-rich, fresh and humid locations in semi-shade and likes to stand at the edge of the pond or on embankments. But this beautiful perennial should not be missing in the classic cottage garden either. It is an excellent cut flower for the flower vase.
