Does anyone grow the above flower? I assume it goes in a sunny location but
I want to make sure before I plant it.

If you mean G. flavida. Yes-they like it sunny to part shade.  a moisture
retentive soil that is well draining most of the year but plants will take
wet springs good and do well in wet soils after a rain storm.

An attractive gentian with more upright stems than the bottle Gentians.
Plants are long lived and produce a long deep "tap" root. so once established
do not move.

Only problems I have had with the are:
They do not like dry conditions.
Scales
Wood Chucks like to eat them.
