Like many spring blooming natives, the bloom time on Jacob's Ladder is short but sweet.  The few short weeks in April or May that the flowers appear, the plant will be covered in blooms that range from shades of pink to blue. Jacob's Ladder will grow in full sun if it has adequate moisture but it prefers woodlands (almost full shade) and on woodland edges (partial shade). A mature plant will only reach heights of 1' and is deer resistant.

The roots have been used for kidney troubles and as a diuretic. Jacob's Ladder has many companion plants which include Midland Shooting Star,  Jack-in-the-Pulpit, and Virginia Bluebells.

Other common names include Bluebell, Greek Valerian, and Skunk Weed.
