Gentianella Florida

Gentianella florida is a striking member of the Gentianaceae family known for its vivid blue and violet flowers. Native to the southeastern United States, this plant thrives in wetlands and moist woodlands. It is often found in areas with rich, acidic soil and partial to full sunlight. The plant's showy blooms attract pollinators like bees and butterflies, making it a valuable addition to native gardens. Despite its beauty, Gentianella florida is somewhat rare and requires specific environmental conditions to flourish.
