This beautiful low growing herbaceous perennial plant is one of the easiest forms of Gentian to grow, and also reliable to bloom. Spectacular 5cm (2in) bright blue trumpet-shaped flowers appear in early and mid-autumn, protruding on very short stalks from a mat of carpeting foliage, which has an almost mossy texture to it. The Royal Horticultural Society has given it its Award of Garden Merit.
Supplied in approx 1 litre containers, full of buds and flowers in season. They can be grown in patio containers, an old sink, between paving stones, in dry-stone walls or in a rockery – so are perfect for small, modern gardens, patios or balconies or simply at the front of a garden border.
