Named after the Greek goddess of love, Pinguicula 'Aphrodite' is a striking hybrid between P. moctezumae and P. agnata. Known for its long, elegant and bright pink leaves that can reach up to 6-10 inches and its soft lavender flowers, this fast-growing butterwort is a standout in any carnivorous plant collection.
Caring for P. 'Aphrodite' is easy, especially if you’ve grown Mexican butterworts before.
