Pinguicula gigantea red x martinezii is a beautiful hybrid created at Rainbow that can turn red/brownish under intense full spectrum lights. These pings have the size/shape of their mother (gigantea red) and the beautiful coloration of the P. martinezii, which is really eye pleasing. However, keep in mind that these pings are seed-grown and that some variation in the rosette/color/flower may occur. These pings have not bloomed yet, we'll update the flower once it becomes available.
You'll get a similar plant to the ones in the pictures. Please note that some plants are greener than others but will turn pinkish/reddish under intense light. You'll get a plant similar to the one in picture.
The plants are shipped bare root in a plastic container to protect the plants. We ship the plants on Monday and Wednesday to avoid the weekend cut off.
