Polemonium 'Heaven Scent' - 2026

Polemonium 'Heaven Scent' is a fragrant perennial prized for its striking flowers and attractive foliage. From late spring into early summer, it produces loose clusters of violet-purple, bell-shaped blooms that release a delicate fragrance, drawing in bees and other pollinators. Its finely divided, fern-like leaves emerge in spring with a bronzed-purple tint before turning deep green, giving long-lasting interest beyond the flowering period. This lush foliage forms a compact mound, making it a versatile addition to mixed borders, woodland gardens, or container displays.

Thriving in moist but well-drained soils, 'Heaven Scent' grows happily in full sun to partial shade, adapting well to a variety of garden settings. Cutting back the spent flowers helps prolong its display and encourages a tidy, vigorous habit. Although non-native to the UK, it contributes ecological value by supporting insects and providing early summer nectar. Low-maintenance yet impactful, this variety brings both colour and fragrance to the garden.
