RE: FW: Gentiana puberulenta

My experience is that bottle gentians are not hard to transplant...seeded in
flats, transplanted to pots, and then to the wild has worked in the past for
g. alba and G. andrewsii (might not work for others?).  I've dug up bottle
gentians, soaked the clump in a bucket of water, and separated it into 15
plants, all of which did fine....

I have seeded in bottle gentians in the first three years of our prairie 
reconstruction.  It took several years to even notice that they had 
germinated.  I seeded about half of a grocery bag of seed this past winter, 
simply throwing them in the wind to disperse along the margins of our marsh.

They hopefully frost seeded over the winter.  It is too early to know the 
results, but that is the same method I had used previously.  I have read
that 
they are very difficult to transplant, so disn't try to raise them in a flat

first.  I have not had trouble with growing them this way.  Stephanie Smith
