A cross between two Mexican Butterworts, Pinguicula agnata (CSUF - Scented Flower) x gypsicola is a vigorous and easy grower. As is true of gypsicola, keep it on the dry side in the winter as it begins to produce non-carnivorous 'winter leaves'. It prefers loose, open soil. We use an all mineral mix which contains an aquatic planting medium based on arcilite, a common clay-based mineral used in soil-less planting mixes. Also includes silica sand and a very small amount of iron oxide. Another good mix is composed of 1 part each of peat, sand, vermiculite, perlite and pumice. Shipped bare root, carefully wrapped in damp sphagnum.
