I'm not quite sure where this thing popped up commercially (I think Jelitto sells it as 'Blue Herald'): I'm pretty sure what I have just came from a lot of my own seedlings of Gentiana paradoxa which all turned out to look intermediate with septemfida (they do bloom at the same time). They are not quite like either parent, and seem to be much more vigorous and thrive in quite deep shade (like these in the picture) as well as a lot of sun. Does anyone else have experience with this hybrid combo: is it as vigorous as it seems to be for me?
Seemed a pity that this poor Gentiana category had gone empty for so long: I abhor a vacuum almost as much as Nature does!
