Gentiana crinita (Fringed Gentian) matures to just 12" and has blue, some may call purple, flowers. Fringed Gentian prefers wetter soil conditions, and grows best in full sun. Most Gentians bloom late: August, September, and October.
This plant is now rare due to habitat loss. The flowers open on sunny days, but generally remain closed on cloudy days. Individual plants live for only one or two years, but do reseed when given the proper conditions. Ants are highly attracted to Gentiana crinita because they like the taste and crave the nutrition of the nectar, so in response the plant has developed a system to protect its self. In which, some specialists believe that the fringe on the petals provides a measure of protection.
