This plant is having a difficult time growing in our yard. We have heavy clay, which stays pretty dry and hard. Also, I have it planted in shade with no direct sun after the trees leaf out. I planted it in spring of 2005 and it barely comes up each spring and then dies back during the summer. Never any flowers.

This plant make a nice company for woodland phlox, and one year they bloomed together! This species may be more long lived compare to other polemonium speces like P. caerul... It grows in sandy soil in any degree of shade at my home.

This is a nice plant for the shade garden. It seeds about nicely but not aggressively, and seedlings are easy to dig and transplant.
It makes a nice dainty cutflower with pink columbine and other delicate spring flowers.
