Pinguicula x “Easter Bonnet” BARE ROOT

Pinguicula x “Easter Bonnet” is a new release for 2024! One of three siblings we’re releasing, this is a hybrid of gigantea x rectifolia, the plants were so beautiful, so good, that we had to pick three to share with you instead of just one! 

“Easter Bonnet” has delicate, blush-pink petals, gently lined with ever so darker pink lines. The throat is a solid and striking creamy-yellow and the overall effect makes us think of the pastel colors and dreamy spring days of Easter! Be sure to check out her sisters;  “Pixie Pie” and “Smitten”.

This is not in tissue culture and is a very rare, limited-quantity plant! These plants are small, about the size of a quarter.

These plants have a winter succulent phase in which they shed their carnivorous leaves and grow smaller succulent leaves. They greatly reduce in size, shrinking down to a tiny, cute little succulent rosette! If you order in winter, you plant will come in a tiny succulent rosette. But don’t worry, with proper conditions it will soon grow much larger carnivorous leaves and surprise you with its fantastically quick growth!

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