An in-house Brambles Botanicals hybrid, Pinguicula “Rue” is agnata “Red Leaf” x agnata “True Blue” (CROSS # 21022). The name “Rue” is a blend of “Red” and “Blue” from each parent’s name.
Each plant from this series is a seed-grown, genetically unique, pure Pinguicula agnata from two agnata varieties on the opposite end of the spectrum from each other: agnata “Red Leaf” has increased levels of anthocyanin (pigmentation) and will, under intense light, produce blood-red leaves, while agnata “True Blue” has little-to-no anthocyanin so the leaves stay green. “Red Leaf’s flowers are rather white, usually only featuring lavender coloration on the edges of the petals, while “True Blue’s flowers are vibrantly colored in a blue-ish lavender. So “Red Leaf” has amazing leaves while “True Blue” has amazing flowers, and many “Rues” are already showing the best features of both parents: vibrant leaves and colorful flowers.
We’re selling plants that are 1-2 inches across. If they haven’t already, they will be producing their first flowers soon!
