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.

This plant was so neat and fresh when I opened the box; in addition to being a nice size for the price. It was shipped very well and the plant looked like it just came out of a greenhouse. I would highly recommend this plant and this organization for quality and the ability to find rare pings and other plants.

Very cool looking ping cross, love how the leaf tips curl as they age. The plant I received is bigger than I thought it would be. It was packaged very well, even the flower survived the trip and is still blooming!
