You can actually get Jacob's ladders even at 4-stars. I got
loads of them at that level. Most places online say it must be 5-stars, but they're wrong, or at least are wrong for some people. I also
encountered a thread with people noticing that they also kept getting them at 4-stars.
I can't say I know what makes that happen for some people when some others don't even start getting flowers at 5-stars. There seems to be a theory that the internal numbers of all the different things...fences, shrubs, trees, flowers, weeds, debris/discarded items/etc...can mean that you're actually at 5-stars in some ways yet don't actually qualify overall so Isabelle still tells you you're at 4. And I guess you can have the reverse where Isabelle tells you you're at 5 stars but one of your qualifications isn't right for the spawing of Jacob's ladders. Can't say I actually get it, though, and I haven't found anywhere that provides any actual proof of how it works.
PS: Are they called Jacob's Ladder in this game, or Lily of the Valley? Because greenhouse-grown me is bothered that I've seen them called both, when JL is
polemonium and Lily-of-the-Valley are
convallaria, meaning they aren't even related. I can't take a leaf off one and examine it irl to tell you what it actually is, though, lol. I don't remember sticking one in my inventory and checking the name, but the growth habit looks more like LotV than JL. If I can apply that kind of realism to a game, heh.
