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. Please see size descriptions below.
Description

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.
