Collection: Pinguicula - Warm Temperate Butterworts

Warm temperate butterworts represent a distinct Pinguicula lineage native to the South-eastern U.S. coastal plains, where they inhabit acidic peat bogs and savannas alongside pitcher plants. Species such as P. primuliflora and P. lutea are adapted to pronounced seasonal cycles - hot, humid summers paired with cold winters featuring frost events - and thrive in consistently wet, peaty substrates. 

These plants require genuine dormancy and tolerate freezing temperatures, making them suited to outdoor cultivation in appropriate climates or controlled indoor environments. Their rosette-forming sticky leaves, often displaying yellow-green coloration and striking blooms, efficiently trap small insects without supplemental feeding. Maintain high moisture levels year-round with cooler, slightly drier winter conditions. Position in partial shade to partial sun, ensuring excellent drainage. These butterworts excel in bog gardens, terrariums, and tray systems where moisture regulation mimics their natural wetland habitat.
