Cream Gentian(Gentiana flavida)

From $6.00

** I'm a North America but technicially not native to NY state. I should be used in your garden and not in wild areas.

I’m slow-growing but long-lived once established.

I’m the first gentian to bloom in the late summer or early fall

I attract bumblebees which need to squeeze through the small opening on my blooms.

Humans seem to enjoy watching bumblebees squeezing in to get my nectar and pollen.
