Jacob's Ladder Golden Feathers

Golden Feathers Jacob’s Ladder earns its place at the front of the partly shaded border with luminous golden-yellow variegated foliage and the classic ladder-like leaf arrangement that gives this beloved perennial its common name. The foliage is the real show here—fresh and bright from spring through summer, lightening shadier spots with a warmth that few other shade perennials can match. When the flowers arrive in spring and continue into early summer, they add an airy cloud of bloom above the mound and attract butterflies, bringing another layer of seasonal interest to an already handsome plant. Growing 24 to 36 inches tall with a graceful, mounding habit, it works well alongside ferns, astilbes, and hostas for a cohesive woodland-style planting. It is deer, rabbit, and insect resistant—a worry-free choice for gardens that see regular wildlife pressure. An understated treasure for any gardener who wants their shade planting to have a little golden glow.
