Gentiana sino-ornata alba - Showy Chinese White Gentian

This beautiful low growing herbaceous perennial plant  is one of the easiest forms of Gentian to grow, and also reliable to bloom. Spectacular 5cm (2in) ice white trumpet-shaped flowers appear in early and mid-autumn, protruding on very short stalks from a mat of carpeting foliage, which has an almost mossy texture to it. 

Supplied in approx 1 litre containers, full of buds and flowers in season. They can be grown in patio containers, an old sink, between paving stones, in dry-stone walls or in a rockery - so are perfect for small, modern gardens, patios or balconies or simply at the front of a garden border.
