Just letting you know that the Gentian asclepiadea alba grows to about 3 feet in new zealand but it is slower. Prefers part shade here. Is being trialled for cut flowers for export. |
| sabinski | Nov 12, 2005 | well, I can assure you it's NOT g. asclepiadea. maybe one of those asian species? it has beautiful leaves.
Thanks sabinski - I'll wait for more comments, as I'm still clueless... |

Mine came from seed trades. I don't know of a commercial source, off-hand. |
| Kate | Sep 08, 2006 | flavida? I don't think so; not enough differentiation of leaf size up (or down) the stalk. Why are you sure it's not asclepiadea? |
