Gentiana andrewsii
Andrew's Gentian Zones: 3, 4, 5, 6, 7
Andrew's Gentian is a spectacular choice for the moist or wet garden in sun or light shade. Plants grow to a foot or more with bright green paired leaves. Individual flowers are 1 to 2 inches long and urn shaped and a beautiful deep sky blue - a true blue. They resemble oblong pleated balloons that never open. Borne in clusters of 3 to 12 along the stems in the leaf axils, they can be seen from quite a distance and make a real show in late summer and early fall. The Gentians may not be the easiest plants to establish, but once they've taken hold, they are long-lived, maintenance free, and very striking. Cat# 1100
