Pinguicula x “Bronze Butterfly” BARE ROOT

Daniela is absolutely obsessed with this hybrid by renowned grower Mike Rubnitz! There’s something out of this world about the elegant, elongated pink leaves that blush an almost bronze color! And the flowers are a striking white with purple and yellow throats. The size and shape of the leaves look like a bronze winged butterfly has set down to sun its wings on your pot of pings! These are not in tissue culture and are extremely limited in quantity.

These plants have a winter succulent phase in which they shed their carnivorous leaves and grow smaller succulent leaves. They greatly reduce in size, shrinking down to a tiny, cute little succulent rosette! If you order in winter, you plant will come in a tiny succulent rosette. But don’t worry, with proper conditions it will soon grow much larger carnivorous leaves and surprise you with its fantastically quick growth!

THIS PLANT WILL NOT COME POTTED, YOU WILL NEED TO POT IT UPON ARRIVAL.  MEXICAN/TROPICAL PINGUICULA PREFER OUR SANDY PINGUICULA SOIL MIX.
