Green Gentian really stands out in a crowd towering over nearly all wildflowers. Looking similar to the Common Mullein, Green Gentian can grow to over 6' in height. The plant itself looks rather drab, but upon closer inspection you'll find it has beautiful star shaped white and green flowers. Look for Green Gentian in meadows, clearings, and along roadsides.
