Pinguicula x 'Violetta' BARE ROOT

$ 19.99

At this point Damon has done hundreds of butterwort hybrids but this is one his favorite things that he's made!  This was the select clone from the cross between emarginata and 'Libelulita'.  The little lime green plants always seem to be in bloom!  The flowers are unlike any other ping; lavender with a darker center.  Especially close to our hearts, Damon named this cultivar for Daniela's daughter, Violet.

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

Please note that many species of Mexican Butterworts experience a winter succulent phase in which they stop growing large carnivorous leaves and instead, grow small succulent leaves.  If you order a plant from October - March, you may receive one that is winter succulent.
They usually begin to go into this phase as photo period decrease in winter and will stay in their succulent state until spring, when the photo periods lengthen again.

Care Instructions

Dormancy: no true dormancy but does have a winter succulent phase during which the plant will produce small succulent leaves instead of flat sticky leaves
