Known Hazards: None known Mature Height: 0.4 Mature Width: Habitat: Prairies and other grassy places[200, 239].
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]. This species requires a fairly dry site with good drainage[239].
Plants are intolerant of root disturbance[200].
A moisture loving plant, preferring to grow with full exposure to the sun but with plenty of underground moisture in the summer, it grows better in the north and west of Britain[1].
This species is closely related to G. affinis[239].
