Gentiana 'Little Pinkie' is an attractive perennial ground cover featuring lance-shaped, glossy dark green foliage that forms dense mats. It produces abundant upright, trumpet-shaped flowers in vibrant shades of pink to purple, blooming continuously from late spring through fall. This variety is a hybrid of spring and autumn Gentians. Regular removal of faded blooms encourages extended flowering. Supporting pollinators, 'Little Pinkie' thrives in full sun with humus-rich, consistently moist yet well-drained soil conditions.
