Gentiana

6″ pot

Gentians are well-branched with bright upward-facing tubular flowers. A charming addition to the hard to find “blues” in perennials. Easier to grow than most Gentians, this beauty sends up a multitude of flowers, often blooming right into fall. Prefers full sun to part shade but should be protected from the afternoon sun in regions with hot, humid summers. Well-drained soil with average moisture. Deer resistance, Long bloom time Zone 3-9 Blooms Midsummer to early Fall.
