  • Question

    I saw this summer a nice stand of rose gentian, Sabatia kennedyana, in Plymouth. Do you know of a reliable seed source for this plant?

    Answer

    Abbeyrose, I'm sorry, I do not. Sabtia kennedyana is a wonderful plant and I can understand why you would want to cultivate it. Members of the Gentianaceae have some difficulties with seed germination that may be limiting their use in the horticulture industry. Best wishes.
