Planting and Care Guide

Planting Tips

Plant in moist, well-drained, humus-rich, acidic soil. Space 12–15 inches apart. Water thoroughly after planting and mulch lightly around the base.

Care Tips

Water consistently throughout the season- gentian requires reliable moisture and good drainage to perform well. Avoid hot, dry conditions which cause decline. Divide every 3–4 years in spring. Remove spent flowers to maintain a tidy appearance. Largely pest-free. The vivid, intense blue flowers in fall are among the truest blues in the plant world and are a striking, rare color for the autumn border. Best in cool, moist garden conditions.
