Gentiana verna


Gentiana verna (Gentian verna)

The tiniest flowers in my garden - they are in the scree bed, protected by a ring of pebbles. The blue is intense!

Beautifyl.My verna was taken over by some weed.Looked the same when it was small and i only realised it when the weed suddenly started growing like mad :-(
I will buy it again I think.

Well - at least I know 'exactly' where this is, with the pebbles round it. What a shame you lost it! :-(

I'll make sure i mark them well next time i get them,probably next year.
To lovely to give up after the first time.

The pebbles really help!

Pebbles are good idea.I've got all my gentianas in one planter now,so will be easier to keep an eye on them.

I tried a larger flowered plant - but the birds peck it as soon as a flower opens. No point in growing it at all! :-(((
