I never had success with G. austriaca (germanica) in my garden, although germination is no problem. I think it likes higher and colder  locations.

Some Gentians flowering in my garden recently.
1 Gentiana loderi
2 A gentian grown from seed from one of the seed exchanges as Gentiana 'Black Boy'.  Don't know if that was the parent's proper name or a misinterpretation.  The buds are quite black.
3 Gentiana asclepiada - a pale blue form
4 Gentiana paradoxa - two slightly different plants from the same batch of seed.  The first one is bluer than the picture.  The second one is a deeper blue but the flowers do not open so well.
5 Gentiana 'Marsha' bought from B&Q last year. Described on the label as Japanese Gentian 'Marsha'

I just picked up three pots of G. scabra at the weekly market, one each of white, blue and rose, but really have no idea what they like.  Are they acid soil species?  Moist, well-drained, alpine, etc?  As they get literally thrown at you end of Summer, they can't be too difficult....can they? ::)

Bottle or closed gentian, Gentiana clausa - the flowers may develop a small opening at the top, but they don't ever really  open.

Dear Anne Karin,

The Gentian is G. pneumonanthe. A very nice one!

Hans, these gentianella are very different to anything I have ever seen but I really like their cilia - they look like something feeding on a coral reef   8)
When you say they are higher up, what sort of situation do you find them in?
