Gentiana acaulis
STEMLESS GENTIAN
- Unit price
- / per
This stemless Gentian has no stems, so flowers appear straight up from the tufts of leaves! Plants are clump-forming, and leaves are low, allowing the flowers to be held high for all to see. The flowers are also quite large, and a true deep-blue.
Type: Hardy perennial
Hardiness zones: 2-9
Height: 13 cm, 5"
Location: Part sun or part shade. In hot climates shelter plants from midday sun, perhaps directly under a tree or shrub where diagonal sun or the morning or afternoon will shine in.
Seed sizes per packet: 10
Surface sow as light aids germination. Water the seeds in and leave them at room temperature (20C/71F) for 4 weeks. This helps break the phytohormones which inhibit germination. They will not grow yet. Then a cooling period is required. Cover them with plastic and place in a fridge for 6 weeks. Be sure they stay moist. After the cold stratification period they are then brought back to a cool room (15C, 59F) for them to germinate. Germination is generally 30-60 days after the warming period, though some can take longer.
