We thought it was time to give this in-house butterwort hybrid a name since it is so striking. Say hello to Pinguicula ‘Anemone’! It is a cross of P. moctezumae and P. gypsicola and can grow to up to 8 inches across. The leaves develop a blushed hue under strong light while the flowers are an intense pinkish purple. P. ‘Anemone’ prefers a loose substrate that drains easily. This listing is for a young plant, please see size and packing information below.
Description
Size and packing method: You will receive a bare root plant about 1.5 inches 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.
Growing requirements
Mature size: Up to 8 inches in diameter
Light: Partial to full sun or grow light equivalent
Soil: Mexican Butterwort Potting Mix
Feeding: Feed bugs, dried bloodworms, fish food, or diluted foliar fertilizer such as Maxsea every 2-3 weeks
Humidity: 50-80% with adequate airflow
Water: While in its carnivorous phase, provide enough distilled water for the media to remain damp. Reduce watering and allow the media to dry out regularly once the succulent rosette begins to form.
Temperature: 55-85°F
Dormancy: Technically none, however carnivorous leaves are replaced by a smaller succulent rosette for part of the year
Planting and adjustment instructions will be included with your shipment.

Though a little smaller than some of the other pictures, there were two separate and healthy plants to make up for it! It’s been about a month since I received them and they’ve been doing great. A great choice for those looking for a unique butterwort variety.

I just received my Anemone today in the mail. I’m very, very impressed. It was much larger than expected, especially since you’ve been propagating them like crazy to keep up with demand. Beautifully shaped plant and already sprouting a flower stalk. I couldn’t be more pleased.

Plant lost most of its leaves but is recovering nicely. Did have to pulverize the soil a bit to accommodate the root ball.
