is a wonderful new Jacob's Ladder hybrid that I added to my
Shade Path garden last fall.
It's main attraction is its white-rimmed leaves, though its blooms are dainty and attractive also.
I like having it sited in the area of this garden that has white highlights. The white stripped hosta...
and the white bleeding hearts (
Dicentra spectabilis alba) help its coloring to stand out to my eye.
It will go dormant for the heat of the summer, but a few large foxglove (Digitalis purpurea) or hosta will cover it up in no time.
It's flowers are rather smaller than the common Jacob's Ladder (
see it on the Shade Path also).
Perhaps you would enjoy giving it a try this year too!
