Gentian 'Strathmore', 'Strathmore' Gentian, Autumn Gentian
Noted for its sky blue flowers, award-winning Gentiana ‘Strathmore’ (Gentian) is a compact perennial forming a slowly spreading mat of narrow, pale green leaves borne on trailing stems. In late summer and fall, masses of solitary, light blue, funnel-shaped flowers, up to 2 in. long (5cm), are on display. Facing upward, they reveal white stripes down their throat. Noted for its preference for cool-summer climates, this fall Gentian is an excellent subject for the rock garden, raised beds, or containers. A welcome addition to the fall garden.
