Gentiana plants and species for sale in the UK
 
INDEX



Gentiana are actually a large and varied genus and descriptions and growing or care notes do differ. In general they prefer a position with moist soil and plently of light, they seem to do well in rock gardens which mimics the natural habitat of many species.

Gentiana lutea (Great Yellow Gentian) will grow to nearly 2m while Gentiana acaulis (Stemless gentian) will only grow to 10cm. Gentiana farreri has very attractive, trumpet-shaped pale blue flowers with white throats appear in early autumn.

Originally from China Gentiana farer prefers humus rich moist soil (slightly acid) in full sun to part shade, protection from hot afternoon sun is desirable.

Gentiana acaulis (pictured below) is one of the prettiest that we have grown, although it does seem to require a good dose of potash to get it to flower.
