Pinguicula ‘Lavender Lacewing’ is a stunning Mexican butterwort hybrid prized for both its flowers and colourful foliage. Its compact rosette develops shades of soft green, creamy yellow, blush pink, lavender, and silvery lilac depending on the season and growing conditions. Under bright light, the leaves often take on beautiful pink and lavender tones while remaining covered in sparkling, sticky mucilage used to capture fungus gnats and other small insects.

Large pastel lavender flowers with darker purple veining are produced freely throughout the growing season, creating an eye-catching contrast against the colourful foliage.

Easy to grow and well suited to windowsills, terrariums, and greenhouses, ‘Lavender Lacewing’ enters a compact succulent phase during winter before returning to active carnivorous growth in spring.

Pinguicula, commonly known as the butterworts, is a genus of carnivorous plantsthat use sticky, glandular leaves to lure, trap, and digest insects in order to supplement the poor mineral nutrition they obtain from the environment. These plants have a winter succulent phase where they are smaller and less carnivorous.
