Pinguicula 'Snow Queen' is lightly variegated towards the edges of the leaves. This cultivar was created by Rainbow Carnivorous Plants by crossing P. moranensis var. caudata and P. 'Guatemala.' After four years, the variegation is reported stable from the original mother plant. 'Snow Queen' matures to a size of 2-4 inches. 

Carnivorous plants are pet safe, so no worries here! These plants are much more dangerous to insects.

Plants will ship bare root and are suitable for a 2 to 3 inch pot. Typical potting soil that contains fertilizers are not suitable for carnivorous plants. Carnivorous plant soil can be found here.
