Pinguicula agnata ‘El Lobo’ is a Mexican butterwort variety that turns a lovely blush to red color in strong light. This particular variety was originally collected near the small village of El Lobo in Queretaro, Mexico.
Description
Size and packing method: You will receive a bare root plant about 1 inch in diameter, carefully wrapped in a damp paper towel. If selecting with soil mix, you will receive a little over one cup of our prepackaged Mexican Butterwort Potting Mix in addition to the bare root plant. This quantity of soil is roughly enough to fill one 2.5 x 2.5 x 3.5 inch square pot.
