(=‘KLEGH12013’) Autumn Gentian are a very special group of plants, highly treasured for their rich display of flowers in summer and fall. This selection is low-growing, with fresh green foliage forming a creeping mound and bearing large upfacing, alpine blue, trumpet flowers for many weeks. Gentians grow best in rich, acidic soils, preferring climates with cool summers. Excellent edging plants for the border, in the rock garden or alpine trough.
