The Pinguicula primuliflora, also known as the Butterwort, is a small perennial herb that produces carnivorous leaves that are covered in small, sticky glands that attract, trap, and digest insects. The leaves are oval-shaped, fleshy, and range in size from 2-5 cm long. The leaves are green in color and have a slightly shiny, glossy appearance, giving the plant an overall vibrant and healthy look.

The Pinguicula primuliflora produces beautiful pink, white, or purple flowers that bloom in the spring and summer months. The flowers are small and delicate, with a trumpet-shaped appearance that is sure to catch the eye of anyone who sees it. The flowers are typically held above the leaves on a tall, slender stem, making them an excellent addition to any windowsill or tabletop.

This plant is relatively easy to care for, making it an excellent choice for both beginner and experienced gardeners. It prefers to be grown in a well-draining soil mix, and should be kept in a location that receives plenty of bright, indirect sunlight. It is also important to keep the soil moist, but not waterlogged, to prevent root rot.

Overall, the Pinguicula primuliflora is a beautiful and unique carnivorous plant that is sure to impress. Its bright green leaves and delicate, trumpet-shaped flowers make it an excellent addition to any plant collection, and its relatively low maintenance requirements make it an excellent choice for gardeners of all skill levels.

These bog-loving plants do best when kept in a humid environment and only given distilled or rainwater. Also, be sure not to put them in regular soils as it is too nutritious for them and they get too many nutrients. We sell Sphagnum Moss which is an ideal medium for them. When they are either in your home in a proper environment or outdoors, there is no need to feed them regularly. They should catch some gnats or flies from the air naturally and it doesn't take much to keep them full and fed.
