$19.99
Description
blue MSU-EF 10”H x 10”W
This Gentian sets itself apart from the species by its intense blue violet flowers on compact, durable, drought resistant plants. From midsummer into early fall, clusters of small, 4-petaled flowers open and bloom at the nodes. At each node, the spoon-shaped leaves meet at angles to form a cross, thus the name
Cross Gentian. This perennial looks great in rock gardens and also makes a nice cut flower.
