Polemonium Touch of Class

Height: 14"

Spread: 18"

Bloom Time: Late Spring to Mid Summer

Sun to Part SUn

Hardiness Zone: 3-7

Cost: $10.00

This beautiful finely textured perennial has delicate lacy foliage that forms a low mound. The compound leaves are green with a narrow, bright white edge. From early to midsummer, a plethora of pink buds open to reveal small, very pale blue flowers. After it is finished blooming, the plant may need to be cut back to allow for a fresh flush of foliage.

'Touch of Class' is a sport of the popular 'Stairway to Heaven' that was introduced by Sunny Border Nurseries.

This easy-to-grow perennial looks great in the middle to front of the flower border. It pairs superbly with broad leaved perennials such as hostas.

Homeowner Growing & Maintenance Tips:
Easy to grow, polemoniums prefer a cool, moist environment with protection from afternoon sun. Deadheading will encourage sporadic reblooming in late summer. Though it seldom needs to be divided, it may be done in spring or fall.
