Polemonium caeruleum Brise d’Anjou (Jacob’s Ladder) is an erect, clump-forming perennial prized for its clean variegated leaves of bright green and creamy-white. In mid to late spring, small violet-blue flowers are borne atop stiff leafy stems. They rise well above the foliage mound of finely divided, fern-like leaves. However, the main attraction is the foliage. Excellent for borders, woodland settings, or containers where it will stand out.
