If you want to propagate it, dig up the bush in early spring and divide it.

 

4) Gentians

These are very beautiful plants that grow in any location. These wonderful plants love the sun, but there are also varieties that thrive in shade. They have single flowers and short stems. Gentians grow up to one and a half meters tall. The choice of location and soil for planting must be determined individually for each variety, and planting must be approached with great care. It is best to plant gentians in April or September, with at least 30 cm between each bush. It is best to dig the soil twice before planting. They are usually propagated by seeds, which should be sown in winter. The seeds have a shelf life of 6 to 12 months.
