GentianThis hybrid gentian from hybridizer Darrell Probst is a real gem. It's easy to grow and long blooming with true royal blue flowers nestled among the glossy, green leaves lining the sturdy stems. The 2Ó long, upward-facing blossoms open just wide enough for butterflies and hummingbirds to feed. Eye-catching on the retail bench and in the landscape.
