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

Soil: Mexican Butterwort Potting Mix
Feeding: Feed bugs, dried bloodworms, fish food, or diluted foliar fertilizer such as Maxsea every 2-3 weeks

I’ve ordered many plants from this place and they’ve all been wonderful. They arrive quickly, are very well packaged and the plants are of the highest quality! The owner is very responsive to questions and very supportive. This Pinguicula ‘Anemone’ is a beautifully unique butterwort. I was instantly thrilled when I opened it. I would highly recommend this one! So interesting how the leaves uncurl and mine came slightly blushed at the top. I love it!
