Warm Temperate Butterworts (Pinguicula)

Pinguicula primuliflora is a popular species in cultivation. In nature, it is found in coastal areas of the Florida panhandle west into Louisiana.  It forms a handsome rosette of pale-green, pointed leaves up to four inches across.  The plants are often found in mostly shaded areas of very wet peat and sphagnum, often along the edges of streams and ponds.  While the plants are short-lived and prone to rot, they spread by producing plantlets at the tips of their leaves.  Keep them shaded from hot sun.  The beautiful flowers have incised petals that are pinkish violet with a white center and a yellow beard.

THESE PLANTS WILL COME BARE ROOT AND NOT IN POTS.  YOU WILL NEED TO POT THEM UP UPON ARRIVAL.  WARM TEMPERATE PINGUICULA DO BEST IN OUR PEAT AND PERLITE MIX.
