Gentiana asclepiadea
WILLLOW GENTIAN
I really like this gentian -- it's easy to grow, long-lived, and in time grows into large clumps. Deep blue tubular flowers along the leaf axes blooming in August and September. These should all be blue but it is possible that a white or light pink form might come through. Native to eastern Europe.
Zones 4-8. 18-24 in. Part sun to light shade, moist well-drained soil. Mature blooming size plants grown out in quart pots.
3 or more = $9.00 ea.
