What an eclectic collection Rimmer! I am very envious of your G. paradoxa, lost mine two years ago.

I'm working on it ;) although I'm wondering what I'll end up with; I've seen plants going under the name of paradoxa that may be hybrids considering the foliage, which is not so fine as in the true G. paradoxa, like yours.
I also like it because it turns reddish later in the fall. It is a gentian that I would grow even if just for the foliage.

Interesting to see your C. purpurea purpureum Rimmer.  Somewhere I had read that the bulbs like to be deep, but today when repotting some 3-year old seedlings I was surprised that the bulbs were only 12-15 cm down a 25 cm deep pot.  Perhaps they behave differently in the open ground, or go deeper as they mature.  How do yours behave?

Thanks for the name correction Fermi :)

Ah, good to know that 8"/20cm is enough for them.
