Pinguicula agnata x gypsicola (P. x agnicola)

·      A striking architectural hybrid combining the robust nature of P. agnata with the long, elegant, linear foliage of P. gypsicola.

Pinguicula agnata × gypsicola, known also as Pinguicula x agnicola is a mesmerizing Mexican butterwort hybrid that brings high-end architectural drama to any carnivorous plant collection. This elite cross beautifully blends the wide, sturdy form of P. agnata with the exceptionally long, upright, strap-like leaves of P. gypsicola. The result is a highly unique, starburst-shaped rosette packed with glistening digestive glands that shimmer like diamonds under bright light. The silvery leaves of Pinguicula agnata × gypsicola develop a pink or orangy hue in strong light.

During its active growth phase, this hybrid is a relentless gnat-catching machine. When it blooms, it sends up elegant, long-lasting pink flowers that make it a true centerpiece. Thanks to its hybrid vigor, it is significantly hardier and faster-growing than its parent species, making it an excellent choice for both experienced growers and ambitious beginners looking for a standout plant.
