Parry's Gentian
Gentiana parryi
zones 2-6
75 seeds
Parry’s Gentian is a species of the genus Gentiana. It is a perennial native to Idaho, Utah, Wyoming, Colorado, and New Mexico. It thrives in moist locations in the montane and subalpine zones, meadows, stream banks.
The large, stunning blue flowers are shaped like a goblet; broad at the base, a little narrower towards the top, but wider again at the tip, where the corolla opens out into five rounded lobes. The top of the flower is blue, while the lower sections are whitish, with greenish-purple flecks and stripes. The center contains a compact group of stamens and a pistil.
Flowers are borne singly or in small groups of up to 5 and they tend to open fully only during sunny days. Beneath the flower head are several large green leaf-like bracts.
It is best to sow Parry’s Gentian seeds directly in preferred growing area in autumn, covering with a thin layer of rich humus. The growing area must have rich soil and be kept wet, as this is a wetlands species. Seeds may similarly be sown in the spring, no later than June. Parry’s Gentian seed, as with most of this species, takes time to germinate.
