Utricularia bisquamata ‘Betty’s Bay’

Splendid flowers of violet, orange, white or yellow, on hair- like flower stalks. Soon covers soil surface with tiny delicate leaves. The flowers look very much like the toadflax found on walls in the summer. One of the most free flowering of all the Utricularia, having a flower during most months. This form of the species comes from New Zealand and is much bigger with richer colour than the species. Grow in sunny position. Stand in 2-5cm rainwater. Doesn’t mind occasional flooding. Very pretty in undrained bowls – will fill any size. A fabulous windowsill plant. Tolerates a light frost.
