Cream Gentian is a rare native plant with bottle-shaped cream colored flowers. The flowers are pollinated by bumblebees which open up the flowers to find the pollen inside. It’s a cool sight to see!

During their first year, gentians prefer partial shade. They don’t like soggy roots; water them deeply but not too often. Do not fertilize.
