Description

The wreath gentian shines from afar and makes for a beautiful sight in the garden with its fresh appearance. This small perennial is a very large one thanks to its spectacular appearance. The wreath gentian flowers in summer from July to August. With the right care, the wreath gentian can create a magnificent eye-catcher when flowering once. The foliage is a wonderful contrast. It is fresh, whole-edged and deciduous. The sometimes very long shoots grow close together as dense carpets. This decorative perennial is one of the longest flowering plants for sunny locations. The summer gentian enchants with a long sea of flowers over a long planting period.
