The decorative, bronze-purple foliage of this impressive new form emerges in a flurry in spring, and is soon followed by open clusters of bell-shaped, purple-blue flowers. Wonderful in both naturalised settings or more formal, herbaceous borders, Jacob's ladder is a much-loved, cottage garden classic.
