Pinguicula grandiflora: A Hardy Perennial Butterwort for Bog Gardens

Good news: Pinguicula grandiflora is a perennial, so it'll return year after year in your temperate bog garden alongside Sarracenia, Drosera, and Venus flytraps.

Growing Tips

• Space: Leaves get large—give it room.
• Shade: Protect from hot summer sun. Plant behind tall Sarracenia for natural shade.
• Dormancy: Like other temperate butterworts, it forms a winter hibernaculum (tight bud) and re-emerges in spring.

Other Temperate Perennial Butterworts

Consider P. macroceras (West Coast native), P. vulgaris, or P. alpina for similar cold-hardy, bog-friendly options.
