Common name gentian Family gentianaceae Life cycle perennial Flowers blue (summer) Size 12" Light full sun-part shade Cultural notes ordinary garden soil From seed Self-seeds modestly in our garden Seed ripens late September This gentian spreads wider than it is tall. New foliage emerges neatly fresh-green in early spring, and make a slightly glossy mound by early summer. Gentian-blue flowers appear in summer. I find self-sowed plants occasionally in the immediate vicinity of the mother plants.

If it is given some neighbors for support, it will grow a little more upright

In our garden, this plant grows in the following areas: back yard island, side garden

Seed for this plant is included on my seed trade list
