A vigorous hybrid combining two exceptional Mexican species. From P. gigantea, this cross inherits impressive size—mature plants can reach 8" across with leaves approaching 8" tall. From P. moctezumae, it gains elegant, elongated leaf shape and prolific flowering. The result is a showpiece ping with long, chartreuse, succulent-like leaves and soft pink to lilac blooms.
Unlike most Mexican butterworts, this hybrid stays leafy year-round thanks to its gigantea parentage no tight winter rosette, just slightly reduced growth during cooler months. An excellent choice for beginners looking to grow something impressive without fussy care requirements.
