Product description

Polemonium Heaven Scent will retreat back below ground level in autumn and re-emerge with new growth in spring. The plant is fully hardy, easy to grow and will reach its ultimate height and spread within 2-5 years.
Please Note: When purchasing plants please consider that each live item is unique and may therefore differ from the images shown, which are for illustration purposes only - The plant will be supplied in a growers pot.

Garden Plant Size Guide
Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.

Polemonium plants thrive in moist, well-drained soil. Deadheading spent flowers can encourage a longer blooming season.
