Pinguicula ‘John Rizzi’ is a colorful and easy-to-grow Mexican butterwort cultivar of hybrid origin. Pinguicula ‘John Rizzi’ forms a flat rosette of sticky, pink to lime-green leaves that trap small insects. This Mexican hybrid is best known for its undulating mauve leaves and showy, violet-pink flowers that bloom repeatedly throughout the year.
Perfect for windowsills or terrariums, ‘John Rizzi’ thrives in high humidity and warm temperatures. During winter dormancy, it may shift to succulent, non-carnivorous leaves. Ideal for beginners and collectors alike.
