How to Care for the Plant

Water
Regular gentian care is necessary for the wildflower to grow and flourish. You’ll find the extra effort is worthwhile when your gentian wildflowers bloom in your landscape. Choose an area that is as close to its native growing conditions as possible and plant at the appropriate time. A woodland garden, bog or rock garden may be the right area to experiment with how to plant gentian. Water regularly.
Fertilizer
Fertilize with a little compost.
Sunlight
Gentians are fully hardy and can grow in full sun or partial shade.
