Nursery contributed plant descriptions

This clumping woodland native has arching stems with mid-green foliage and trumpet-shaped dark to light blue flowers in axilliary clusters. It loves part-shade and associates well with ferns and shade grasses like Hakonechloa, Millium effusum ‘Aureum’ and Carex elata ‘Bowles Golden’. Willow gentian is one of the best and easiest gentians for the garden.
