Jacob’s ladder thrives in partial shade in moist woodlands. Like other woodland wildflowers, an ample amount of leaf litter is necessary to protect the roots from frost, combined with organic matter to provide nutrients to the plants.

Planting notes. Mature plants develop a taproot and therefore do not take well to transplanting. A few seedlings may pop up around the parent plant, but heavy reseeding is unlikely. Small seedlings can be transplanted before a taproot develops. If you want a large, colorful display, use many plants in a cluster.
