Brian, I have never attempted to move Gentiana lutea of any size. A few years ago Marion Jarvie dug up a small seedling from our garden, but it didn't make the move to hers. Our plants sometimes take a year or so off from blooming, but their bold beautiful foliage makes them an asset even then. They are tough plants and have survived many hard winters. They grow in well-drained mostly clay soil, some with gravel mixed in, and in sun for most of the day.
Ours self-seed freely, so I try to deadhead before that happens, but I do have one with seed on it right now. I could send you some if you like, in case yours fails to make the move. Easiest way would be to sow the seeds now, in situ. Sharon, near Thunder Bay, in north-western Ontario.

Advice would be much appreciated. > _______________________________________________ Alpine-l mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.science.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/alpine-l
