    This is the first yr my Jacob's Ladder (Polemonium) has flowered. (PS: Polemonium caeruleum (Jacob's Ladder)) I would like to save some seed from it. The seedpods are still green. Do the seeds "explode" out? Is seed the way to increase them or division in a yr or 2? Thanks

    Well the pods remind me of Johnny Jump Up. Those pods send the seeds flying far from the plant. I guess I'll find out soon enough. lol
