What are plugs? Plugs are plants grown in 72-cell trays; each soil plug is 1.6” wide x 3.2” deep. They are a great option for planting large gardens. We plant all of our own projects with plugs.

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.

Design Tips

Cream Gentian can be a tricky plant. It likes partial sun during the first year of growth—in nature, this would be provided by mature plants around it. Plant Cream Gentian (Gentiana flavida) with other non-aggressive native plants in medium-dry soils.
