Description
Polemonium ‘Heaven Scent’ is a beautifully scented cultivar of Jacob’s Ladder, prized for its clusters of soft lavender-blue flowers that carry a delightful fragrance from late spring into early summer. The delicate, bell-shaped blooms are held above elegant, fern-like pinnate foliage, creating a graceful display in borders, cottage gardens and woodland settings.
This clump-forming hardy perennial is a reliable choice for UK gardens, thriving in moist, well-drained soil in a position of full sun or partial shade. It is particularly valued by pollinators ? bees and butterflies are drawn to its nectar-rich flowers, making it a wonderful addition to any wildlife-friendly planting scheme.
Supplied as an established plant in a 3 litre pot, ready to plant out into the garden.

Planting Tips:
Plant in a sheltered or open position in moist, well-drained soil enriched with organic matter. Water well after planting and during dry spells in the first growing season. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage a longer display and to keep the plant looking tidy. Cut back old foliage in autumn once it has died down.
