Pinguicula x “Snozzberry” BARE ROOT

This is a new hybrid for 2022. Damon has been on a mission to make more purple hybrids lately. The entire staff immediately fell in love with the rosettes themselves; compact, tidy rosettes with deep purple leaves when grown under lights.  

This particular hybrid is laueana "Tangerine"; a plant Damon made several years ago with lovely orangey flower combined with the most popular plant in the genus; cylosecta with it's round purple rosettes and metallic purple flowers. Damon has learned through years of hybridizing that it can be a bit of a gamble crossing something purple with laueana as oftentimes the rosettes are gorgeous but the flowers look like all the water colors mixed together.  We waited a year for this plant to bloom and the entire staff was checking every day to see what it would look like! We were elated when these stunning magenta-purple flowers unfurled! 

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