[Gentiana alba]'Pale gentian' or 'Yellow Gentian' or 'Plain Gentian'

This native north American Gentian has creany-white flowers over semi-glossy medium to yellow-green leaves. Plants bloom in late summer and the flowers look very much like a bottle gentian.

Plants maintain an upright form too. Your seedlings will take two or three years to bloom. Surface sow seeds and use F 50, bright light will speed up germination, which can be spread out over a few months. Sow in pot and put in a large clear ziplock bag and keep outdoors in late summer or use 2-4 weeks at 68ºF, 4-6 months at 21ºF, move to 53ºF for germination. Surface sow seeds, bright light needed for best results. Long lived species that grows into a good sized clump with time. Zones 3-8. Native from Central and north central USA.
