Gentiana Saxosa

Genus: Gentiana.

Species: Gentiana Saxosa.

This is a white flowered Gentian. It is not at all like the other gentians I have. It is from New Zealand. It has cup-shaped white flowers with grey-purple veining on the petals. It is apparently short lived and while it may self sow it is best to be kept going from seed according to John Husbands article on the AGS site.
Pcw has just advised me that it will need to be fairly dry in winter to be hardy.
