Gentiana 'Strathmore'

4" Pot
A hybrid selection of the Asiatic Gentians. In rich moist acidic soil such as what we have on our sunny pond edge, this will make a small carpet of green short grassy foliage which explodes in late summer and fall with masses of thumb-sized light blue trumpets. A nice patch of this stops people in their tracks. This whole group of the Asiatics just leaves us a little emotional in a good way except when we see one we don't have and then admiration quickly turns to lust which seamlessly transitions to avarice and then its a downward slide to shameful contemplations but before it gets to that point we've learned to either leave, pop some meds or call a sponsor. This is deciduous and dies back to little crown buds in the winter so don't panic.

Our friend Darrell Probst does it again with this excellent Gentian selection. Large 2" flowers of very blue upright facing flowers borne profusely up and down the stems on this compact and nicely branched plant. Anything blue always gets and this got us good. This blooms from mid July into September and suited to the garden bed or containers. On a visit, we saw Darrell's trial bed of thousands of Gentian seedlings from his hybridizing work and from all of those this was judged Gentiana Numero Uno. Not a fussy plant in the least.

Small Band Pot
Willow Gentian. These are young seed-grown plants from our best blue form which has big rich blue flowers ranking along the arching stems and clustering in the leaf axils in late summer into early fall. These are seedlings so there may be some variation but Willow Gentians are just so good that it will take some serious mutant throwback for you not to be happy. If you do have that mutant, we want it of course. Best in part sun to light shade and a good soil that doesn't dry out.
