The Northern Boreal Jacob's Ladder has a compact growth habit, reaching just 30cm, 12" tall.
Attractive ferny foliage is topped with abundant blue flowers. The arrangement of the leaves on the stems look like ladders. These plants will reblooms the same season if the first spent flowers are removed.
Type: Hardy perennial
Height: 30cm, 12"
Location: Sun or part shade
Hardiness zones: 3-8
Seeds per packet: 20
Sow just under the surface of the soil and water in. Temperature 20-22 C (68-72 F) for 4 weeks. They may be growing at this point. If they have not germinated after 4 weeks then a cooling period is required. Cover them with plastic and place in a fridge for 4 weeks. Be sure they stay moist. After the stratification period they are then brought back to room temperature for them to germinate. Germination can be 30-60 days after the warming period, though some can take longer.
