Pinguicula hybrida

Pinguicula x hybrida is a natural hybrid named by Wettstein in 1919. It is usually treated as P. alpina x P. vulgaris and is recorded from Austria, Czechia-Slovakia and Finland. It occurs where the parents grow together in wet, often calcareous fens, seepages and alpine turf, and like them forms a winter bud. Grow it as a cold-temperate butterwort with a cold winter rest.
