How to grow Polemonium 'Snow and Sapphires' in NZ

Polemonium 'Snow and Sapphires' grows best in full sun or partial shade with fertile moisture retentive soil enriched with organic matter. Choose a cool sheltered planting position protected from harsh afternoon sun and drying winds. Water regularly during establishment and through dry periods to maintain healthy foliage and flowering performance.

Trim older foliage after flowering to encourage fresh new growth and maintain strong variegation colour.

Ensure the planting area remains moisture retentive yet free draining to maintain healthy roots and reliable long term growth.
