Last year, when I went to Tatra Moutains in September, I have found a dead Gentiana with loads of seeds. I took some of them and sown in my rock garden. This year I saw hundreds of seedlings. If that seedlings are what I think they are, probably I brought Gentiana nivalis.
I didn't believe I could germinate it successfully. If I will make it flower and than produce seeds I will be pleased to share them with you Ragged and other growers of course.
However, I am really surprised, how so small seedlings can produce a flower in one year. It is written, that this is an annual, not biennial plant. I am sure that in the first year the plant will grow up and flower the fastest in next year.
