It’s hard to imagine a better plant in the fall/winter garden than the southeast native woodland perennial, Gentiana saponaria. Looking quite amazing in our garden throughout December is Zac’s collection from Rockford, Georgia. We hope you’re growing this amazing plant in your garden. Hardiness is Zone 6b-8b, at least.
where can I buy Gentiana saponaria ‘Rockford’?
We sold out of our 2025 crops, so are re-propagating currently. At the earliest, our next offering should be spring 2027. Thanks for asking.
