Latin Name:  Gentiana decumbens
Family:  Gentianaceae
Author:  L.f.

Known Hazards:  None known

Mature Height:  0.25   Mature Width:

Habitat:  Alpine slopes, 3300 - 4500 metres[240].

Cultivation Notes: In general, gentians require a moist well-drained soil in a sheltered position, a certain minimum of atmospheric humidity, high light intensity but a site where temperatures are not too high[239]. They are therefore more difficult to grow in areas with hot summers and in such a region they appreciate some protection from the strongest sunlight[200, 239]. Most species will grow well in the rock garden[200]. Plants are intolerant of root disturbance[200].
