Pinguicula x ”Mehitable” BARE ROOT

This hybrid, made by Bob Beer, is a gorgeous, large leaved plant with bright purple flowers. Pinguicula x “Mehitable” has large, dew-covered, petal shaped leaves that blush a lovely pink when grown in strong light. The grape-purple flowers are accented with spots of deep purple and bright white in the center!

The plants we are shipping are about the size of a quarter.

These plants go into a succulent winter phase where their leaves change size and shape; if you order in the cooler months of Nov-March, your plant may arrive in this succulent phase; it will appear much smaller than it will be in full spring/summer growth!

THIS PLANT WILL NOT COME POTTED, YOU WILL NEED TO POT IT UPON ARRIVAL.  MEXICAN/TROPICAL PINGUICULA PREFER OUR SANDY PINGUICULA SOIL MIX.
