Distinctive, ladder-like arrangements of leaflets provide a delicate ferny texture on this native perennial. Clusters of bell-shaped blue flowers hang gracefully in spring, brightening up shady corners.

Plant Jacob's Ladder in early spring or fall in well-drained, fertile soil. Choose a location with partial to full shade. Space plants about 12-18 inches apart. Water regularly to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Fertilize lightly in spring with a balanced fertilizer. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage more blooms. Divide clumps every 2-3 years in early spring to maintain vigor. Protect from harsh afternoon sun and ensure good air circulation to prevent fungal diseases.
