Sowing and cultivation:
The best time to sow yellow gentian seeds is during the months of March and April.
Stratification of these seeds is imperative before cultivation.
To do this, you either leave them outside during the winter, or you do it artificially by leaving them for 4 to 6 weeks in the freezer in the refrigerator.
Then, sow the seeds in a box of fine potting soil, if possible with an acid pH.
Bury the seeds 3 to 4 millimeters deep, then water gently with a sprayer.
Finally, place the box at room temperature around 20°C.
Germination will begin 4 to 6 weeks after sowing.
