Polemonium Growing Tips

Plant in a well-drained soil that has been enriched with organic matter.
Before planting make sure the pH of your soil is within a 5.5-7.0 for optimum growth
and flowering.
Incorporate compost into the planting hole to feed a growing plant and encourage an
even soil moisture.
Jacob's Ladder plants prefer protection from hot afternoon sun and like growing under
the edge of deciduous shade trees.
Keep soil consistently moist for best performance. Normal rainfall is sufficient, but in
areas where rainfall can be scarce irrigation is needed.
Mulch plants to conserve moisture and for added winter protection.
