The largeflower rose gentian faces severe threats primarily from habitat loss due to coastal development, sea level rise, and human disturbance in its limited salt marsh and coastal prairie habitats. The species has an extremely restricted range along the Gulf Coast, making it highly vulnerable to localized threats and environmental changes.
