An unusual jacob's ladder with variegated foliage edged in creamy white and flushed with pink during the cooler spring weather. In mid to late spring this foliage is crowned with upright stems bearing clusters of light blue to white flowers. Named after the slender, fresh green leaflets which are arranged on the branched stems like the rungs of a ladder!
