Bring a touch of alpine magic to your garden with Gentiana acaulis, commonly known as Stemless Gentian or Trumpet Gentian. This exquisite evergreen perennial is renowned for its breathtaking, upward-facing, trumpet-shaped flowers in a captivating deep sapphire blue. The blooms appear in late spring to early summer, resting magnificently on a lush, dense carpet of glossy green foliage. Growing to just 4-6 inches tall, this dwarf plant stretches to a width of 8-12 inches, making it an ideal choice for rock gardens, border fronts, or as a distinctive groundcover in cooler climates.

Native to the grandiose mountainous terrains of the Alps, Pyrenees, and Carpathians, Gentiana acaulis thrives in moist, well-drained soils, tolerating full sun to part shade. It prefers afternoon shade in warmer areas to prevent leaf bleaching, and its resilient nature will captivate your garden year-round. Notably award-winning, this alpine gem is rabbit-resistant but watch for slugs and aphids. Let the regal blue of the Stemless Gentian transform your landscape into a beautiful sanctuary, drawing every eye with its unparalleled color and elegance.
