Nursery contributed plant descriptions
A hybrid selection of the Asiatic Gentians. I've always envied the Strathmore's in their big Manor House and the huge estate with impeccable gardens and all just so and in perfect taste with impeccable timing. And all seemingly effortless. Rich moist soil results in decadent sky-blue trumpets.
