Sharon, How lovely to have Gentiana lutea self-seeding in the garden. I have not had more than the one plant (though it has formed three 'rosettes')' and it took several years from seed to flowering. So I shall make an effort to move the plant, though I suppose its roots may go a very long

Many thanks for your comments. I, too, moved the plant when it was small. What I desperately need to know, however, is how deep the roots may go after many years, what kind of renewed conditions I should try to give the plant (where is your plant growing?) and whether all of this is pointless
