Thanks Gene, Cera and Marya,
I'm going to look into all the information everyone has written back about.
I've never tried gentiana and will look up the culture of this plant. Are
they easy to raise from seeds or best to purchase plants? Making a list of
all the recommendations for this Spring's seed planting. Same question on
Centaurea is it easy to raise from seed?
Thanks
Kate
