Pinguicula esseriana has tight rosettes, rarely bigger than a nickel, that blush pink when grown under high light. This species stays delicate and tiny! A must have for the butterwort collection. Single pink, purple, or violet flowers appear twice a year on upright stalks. The butterwort plant is a passive trapper, which means it doesn’t actually use movement to snare its prey.

We recommend planting this plug in our Pinguicula soil.

***IMPORTANT NOTE:
This plant ships as a bare root starter plant.
