{"product_id":"cream-gentian-gentiana-flavida","title":"Cream Gentian (Gentiana flavida)","description":"\u003cp\u003eCream Gentian, often referred to by its synonym Gentiana alba, is a refined and sturdy perennial that brings an elegant touch to the late summer landscape. Reaching heights of 1 to 3 feet, it features clusters of creamy-white, bottle-like flowers that, unlike many of its cousins, may slightly open at the tips. Blooming in August and September, it serves as a vital bridge between summer and fall floral displays. This species is native to the Midwest and parts of the eastern United States, typically found in high-quality mesic prairies, savannas, and open woodlands. It is particularly valued for its deer resistance and its attractiveness to long-tongued bees, especially bumblebees. Cream Gentian is surprisingly adaptable, thriving in full to partial sun and tolerating a range of soil conditions from medium-wet to dry. Its upright habit, smooth foliage, and unique floral color make it an excellent selection for formal native borders or restored prairie meadows where its subtle beauty can be truly appreciated.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eQuick facts\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1–3 ft\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSun:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full to Partial\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil moisture:\u003c\/strong\u003e Medium-Wet to Dry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBloom time:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aug–Sep (Cream)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLife cycle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Perennial\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNative range:\u003c\/strong\u003e Native to 17 states, including Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Missouri, Nebraska\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/database.hokseynativeseeds.com\/species\/gentiana-flavida\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eSee the full growing guide and county range map for Cream Gentian\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hoksey Native Seeds","offers":[{"title":"1 oz","offer_id":50926603239621,"sku":null,"price":28.53,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1\/4 lb","offer_id":50926603272389,"sku":null,"price":114.12,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1\/2 lb","offer_id":50926603305157,"sku":null,"price":222.81,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 lb","offer_id":50926603337925,"sku":null,"price":434.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0752\/6567\/1365\/files\/cream-gentian_0916_095727.jpg?v=1793727528","url":"https:\/\/hokseynativeseeds.com\/products\/cream-gentian-gentiana-flavida","provider":"Hoksey Native Seeds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
