P. agnata × debbertiana
A premium Mexican butterwort hybrid registered by Christian Weinberger in 2010. 'Johanna' is one of those rare cultivars that delivers on every front: vigor, color, and ease of care. Under strong light, rosettes transition from soft green to a rich cherry-pink, each leaf glistening with dewy mucilage that doubles as a natural pest trap for fungus gnats and other small insects.
A prolific bloomer with elegant purple flowers, detailed veining, and a bright yellow-white throat.

Common questions
Is 'Johanna' a good first carnivorous plant?
Yes. It's vigorous, colors up readily, and forgives imperfect watering. Our first-butterwort guide compares it with the other easy cultivars.
How do I get the cherry-pink coloring?
Light. The rosette stays soft green in dimmer conditions and shifts to pink as light increases. A bright windowsill or a spot under grow lights will do it.
Is it safe around pets and children?
Yes. Mexican Pinguicula are non-toxic, and the leaves only catch small insects.
