An easily grown smaller gentian from many parts of the northern hemisphere from Europe to Russia.
Small green leaves make dense mats of growth and last through winter up to flowering in spring. Flowers are blue on the species but crisp white on this form which is rarely offered.
Best on neutral to alkaline soils.
