Description:
Gentiana makinoi 'Marsha' is a perennial with semi-evergreen foliage, producing upright stems bearing brilliant blue flowers in late summer and early autumn. It prefers a spot in partial shade, although it will grow in full sun provided the soil remains moist. Great for containers or adding vertical interest and late colour to a border.
