Description

Gentians are the symbol of the mountain, especially G. verna - which all mountain climbers know for having seen them during their ascents, grouped together in a field of magical blue. Down where we live they will find refuge in a rockery, or in a trough of alpine plants, installed near the house to enjoy the spectacle of their corollas in their unique blue.

Identical to the type species, but with pure white flowers. Same cultivation requirements.
