Description

Pinguicula primuliflora is a popular species in cultivation. In nature, it is found in coastal areas of the Florida panhandle west into Louisiana.  It forms a handsome rosette of pale-green, pointed leaves up to four inches across.  The plants are often found in mostly shaded areas of very wet peat and sphagnum, often along the edges of streams and ponds.  While the plants are short-lived and prone to rot, they spread by producing plantlets at the tips of their leaves.  Keep them shaded from hot sun.  The beautiful flowers have incised petals that are pinkish violet with a white center and a yellow beard.

THESE PLANTS WILL COME BARE ROOT AND NOT IN POTS.  YOU WILL NEED TO POT THEM UP UPON ARRIVAL.  WARM TEMPERATE PINGUICULA DO BEST IN OUR PEAT AND PERLITE MIX.

Care Instructions
Sun: Full to part sun outdoors
Water: Always sitting in at least two inches of distilled or purified water, best grown in a bog garden
Temperature: 28 degrees - 100 degrees
Dormancy: No dormancy needed but may go semi dormant in winter

FAQs

WHAT HAPPENS IF THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH MY ORDER?

We guarantee your plant arrives alive and healthy. If there is a problem, email us within 72 hours of delivery with a photo of the plant, and we will make it right.

Please note: some cosmetic stress from shipping is normal and not eligible for replacement, including minor leaf loss, brown spots or small tears. Our team will use their expertise to determine whether an issue qualifies under this guarantee. There is also seasonal, cyclical growth to many of these plants and they may arrive dormant.

HOW LONG DOES SHIPPING TAKE?

We are a small, family-style nursery with a tight-knit team of dedicated plant lovers, and every single order is handled with the same care we’d give our own gardens. Once you place your order, please allow 1–3 weeks for processing — that’s our team hand-selecting your plants, gently cleaning them up, carefully wrapping each one, and packing everything with love to make sure it arrives at your door in the best shape possible. Shipping then takes an additional 2–7 days depending on your location. We know waiting is hard when you’re excited about new plants, but we promise the extra time is worth it — no order here is ever rushed or treated like just another box on a conveyor belt. Thank you so much for supporting a small business and trusting us with your little green family members! 🌿
