Gentiana is a genus of the Gentianaceae family. Although this is a very large family, there are only a few varieties available as a cut flower in the UK.
Over the years extracts from some varieties of gentiana have been used for flavourings in tonics, soft drinks, beer and vodka. Gentiana is fast becoming a very popular wedding flower.
In the wholesale flower markets fresh cut gentiana is sold in wraps of 10 or 20 stems. Stem lengths can vary from 60cm – 80cm depending on the grade required.
