Nursery contributed plant descriptions

This miniature plant adds a sparkle of color to any sunny windowsill. For ease of culture, set this carnivorous bog plant in a saucer of water. A sticky film covers the small rosettes of leaves, trapping insects. But it's not all doom and gloom - single, lavender blooms add a flare of color to its dainty presence. Flowering spring to fall, it loves a cool window.
