Description

This is Damon’s very first terrestrial bladderwort hybrid; in fact, it may be the first manmade terrestrial bladderwort hybrid ever! At first, when they bloomed, he was a little unsure that the flowers were all that he had hoped for as they looked so much like sandersonii “blue,” but by summer, that doubt had vanished, and this has become a favorite in the nursery!

Although the flowers look somewhat like sandersonii “blue,” this hybrid produces lots and lots of little bunny-shaped flowers on three to four-inch scapes, whereas sandersonii usually only makes one or two flowers, low to the ground. Perfect for a terrarium!

We’ve named this “Peter Rabbit” for Peter D’Amato, our founder and the writer of the Savage Garden who has always delighted in the bunny-ears of sandersonii! 

This is sandersonii “Blue” x livida “Merrie Heart”

Please note; when we ship Utricularia, the delicate flowers cannot withstand the shipping process. You will likely receive a pot with no flowers but many small stolons (these look like small blades of grass) that indicate lots of healthy growth in the pot. These small faux leaves can be hard to see! But keep in mind that the real action is under the soil, where the Utricularia will have many, many tiny bladder-like traps! With a little time and care, they will start producing flowers. 

Care Instructions
Sun: Prefers to hide in the shade of other plants; they will also thrive indoors, under grow lights
Water: Always sitting in a few inches of distilled or purified water
Temperature: 40 - 90 degrees
Dormancy: none needed

It arrived smaller than previous plant

It arrived smaller than previous plant. However it is growing strong. Unlike my Betty Bay which is non-existent.

Utricularia x 'Peter Rabbit' Plus Bonus Drosera

The Utricularia x 'Peter Rabbit' was carefully packaged and arrived as described on the website, with numerous leaves but no flowers yet. I look forward to the blooms' arrival with time and care. The pot also had a lovely surprise: Four small hitchhiker rosette sundews, perhaps Drosera aliciae. Sundews can grow like weeds in carnivorous plant collections, and I'm delighted to have these adorable extra plants in addition to the bladderworts.

Peter Rabbit arrived as expected

Peter Rabbit arrived as expected.
This little potted plant now sits in it's new container and home where it can get the sunlight it needs.
I'm looking forward to it flourishing and eventually producing the flowers that will be so great to see.

I received my Utricularia after being shipped in the heat of August’s 90’s

I received my Utricularia after being shipped in the heat of August’s 90’s.Transit time from California to a Milwaukee, WI suburb was almost a week by US mail. The plants were well packaged. After a few weeks on an inside windowsill they are starting to wake up and show good above ground growth. My plants are happy. I am happy.

Plant and added bonus

This plant came greatly packaged with an added bonus included---one California mosquito (now decesased). Never grown this so I don't know what to expect. There is green stuff growing on the soil and a couple of thing blades poking up.

Hi Mary,

I'm sorry to hear you were disappointed with your plant! These terrestrial Utricularia can be really tricky to see in the pots! They have super tiny faux leaves and they can blend in with the moss really well. The flowers are so delicate that they don't survive shipping but with proper care, it should flower again for you! Any time you are disappointed with a plant you can always email us! If you'd like to send me a photo of your plant I can see what I can do to make it right or if I can point out the little hiding leaves for you!
