Pinguicula Primuliflora Carniverous Plant - The enchanted dewcatcher

Pinguicula primuliflora – The Enchanted Dewcatcher

This little carnivore is as charming as it is deadly—if you’re a gnat, that is. Pinguicula primuliflora, or Southern Butterwort, lures in tiny insects with its glistening, dewdrop-covered leaves before slowly digesting them. It’s a natural pest control system wrapped in delicate, primrose-like blooms that pop in shades of lavender and violet.

Perfect for terrariums or a bright, humid windowsill, this plant thrives in the strange and in-between—halfway between fairy garden and little monster. Whether you’re into weird plants, useful plants, or just plants that make you do a double take, P. primuliflora is one to add to the collection.
