Cross gentian
Gentiana cruciata
Cross gentian thrives in well-drained, slightly alkaline soil with consistent moisture and partial to full sun exposure. It prefers cool temperate conditions and does not tolerate prolonged drought or waterlogged roots. Plant in a rock garden or meadow border and avoid over-fertilizing, as lean soils encourage better flowering.
