Bottle Gentian {Gentiana andrewsii} Ornate Blooms | Perennial Heirloom | Pre-Stratified | Cutting Favorite | 200+ seeds Free Shipping! 

Bottle Gentian has bottle-like deep blue flowers that never actually open. 

The unusual blooms are pollinated exclusively by bumblebees, which have the 

size and strength needed to pry open the flowers and gain entry. Bottle Gentians 

are slow-growing but long-lived and require little care once established. Gentiana

andrewsii tolerates cold weather and even frost, blooming late into the fall.
