Gentiana Punctata – Spotted Gentiana is a clump-forming, upright perennial that has veined leaves and bright yellow flowers that are spotted with neon purple. It has a blooming season that ranges from late Summer to mid Fall, grows best in partial shade in sandy, loamy, well-draining soils, and will grow between 12 – 24 inches tall. It prefers moist soils and will die back in the Winter. A great characteristic of this plant is that it is also wind tolerant. These showy flowers will attract numerous pollinators to your garden such as Butterflies and Bees while being resistant to Deer and Rabbits. They are native to Central and Southeastern Europe and do well in beds and borders in the garden. A great feature of this plant is that it is low maintenance, that is something every busy gardener can appreciate!

I urge anyone buying seed to do their homework on germination, I have not raised and cannot raise many of these plants as I am sub-tropics here in St Augustine, Florida. All seed are NOT alike! There are so many different factors in germination and not doing a search is throwing your money away. I want everyone to be successful when growing your flowers from seed it is the most rewarding experience in Gardening and you can do it, if you give the seed what it needs to grow. I always check 3 sites of info to choose how I will go about it. It is not hard to do, if you do it right!
SEED GERMINATION TIP!!!!!!!
ONLY GERMINATE A SMALL PORTION AT A TIME.
DON'T PUT ALL YOUR MONKEYS IN A BARREL.
Good Luck and Happy Planting!!!!
