Great yellow gentian
Gentiana lutea
Great yellow gentian is a slow-establishing alpine perennial that requires deep, well-drained soil and cool temperatures to thrive. It prefers full sun to partial shade and consistent moisture, but will struggle in hot, humid climates or waterlogged conditions. This plant is best suited to rock gardens or alpine beds and rewards patient gardeners with striking yellow flowers after several years of growth.
