Polemonium 'Golden Feathers' Jacob's Ladder

If you're looking to brighten up a shady space with texture and color, Polemonium 'Golden Feathers' Jacob?s Ladder is a standout choice. This compact perennial forms neat mounds of finely divided foliage, each leaflet brightly variegated in shades of golden yellow and medium green. From late spring through late summer, it sends up delicate clusters of lavender purple flowers that appear to float just above the foliage, adding a soft, airy layer of seasonal bloom.

Perfect for part sun to shade gardens, Golden Feathers thrives in borders, containers, rock gardens, and even small mass plantings. Its tidy 8 inch tall, 14 inch wide habit makes it an excellent option for edging shady beds or filling in under taller shrubs and ferns. It pairs beautifully with hostas, heucheras, and astilbes, and adds a lovely contrast to broader leaf forms. The flowers attract bees and butterflies, making it a quiet contributor to pollinator activity as well.

Hardy in Zones 5 to 9, this deer resistant perennial prefers average moisture and well draining soil. While it?s low maintenance once established, a bit of shade and consistent watering will help keep the foliage looking fresh through the season. Golden Feathers offers an unusual combination of vibrant color, compact form, and pollinator friendliness, an easy and elegant way to add brightness to lower light areas of the garden.
