Description
Transform your garden with the deep, sapphire beauty of Gentiana makinoi Blue Star. This compact perennial produces clusters of trumpet-shaped, electric blue flowers that bloom in late summer, standing out brilliantly against its lush green foliage.
Perfect for rock gardens, woodland edges, or alpine gardens, Blue Star thrives in partial shade and cool, well-drained soils. Its vivid blooms add a striking focal point to shaded areas and attract late-season pollinators, making it a standout choice for gardeners looking for color in cooler months.

The plants were nice and slowly growing. My 2nd shipment was in the mail box not at door like first shipment. But o.k.
Planted , and balloon flowers have already bloomed- blue and white, waiting on pink. Genetians arrived healthy, planted and have added half inch of new growth. GREAT PLANTS, GREAT PRICE!
Both plants arrived in good condition. Smaller than I expected but seem to be doing ok at the edge of my sun garden. Real test is survival to next year.
