Referring back to Reply 60, Maggi's post with the note about what Gentiana depressa is likely to enjoy. My own two plants show quite clearly that the "full exposure" mentioned, is the right thing.
The first picture was taken this morning in a trough in full sun though I shade it on some of the recent days when the temp has been in the low 30s and with full sun. It is much more compact but spreading along well and undisturbed should fill the crevice very soon, with thin runners at each end. The second is another plant in the tunnel house, shaded and moister and far fewer buds forming, maybe 5 or 6 while the trough plant has at least 20. The second plant is crying out to yield numerous cuttings. Usually I do them in the late spring but without flowers, the stems should root happily now.
