Gentiana pannonica Cultivation | Propagation | General Uses Cultivation Notes: In general, gentians require a moist well-drained soil in a sheltered position, a certain minimum of atmospheric humidity, high light intensity but a site where temperatures are not too high[239]. They are therefore more difficult to grow in areas with hot summers and in such a region they appreciate some protection from the strongest sunlight[200, 239]. Most species will grow well in the rock garden[200]. This species is not particular about soil type, so long as it is deep enough to accommodate the plant's roots[239]. Although sometimes found wild on alkaline soils, it prefers a neutral to slightly acid soil in cultivation[239]. A moisture loving plant, preferring to grow with full exposure to the sun but with plenty of underground moisture in the summer, it grows better in the north and west of Britain[1]. This species is closely related to G. punctata and G. purpurea[239]. Plants are intolerant of root disturbance[200]. The flowers have the scent of the old tea rose[245].
