100 Golden Butterwort Seeds Pinguicula lutea Carnivorous Bog Wildflower Yellow Bloom
Golden Butterwort (Pinguicula lutea) is a North American native carnivorous perennial prized for its rosette of pale yellow-green leaves and striking butter-yellow blooms that rise on tall slender stalks. Its bright, sunny flowers appear in spring and stand out beautifully against the foliage, making it a standout choice for collectors of unusual plants and lovers of native wildflowers alike.
Golden Butterwort thrives in consistently moist, acidic, nutrient-poor settings and brings texture and interest to bog gardens, carnivorous plant collections, terrariums, and rain-fed container displays. The glossy leaves form a low, spreading rosette that creates an attractive ground cover effect in the right conditions, while the cheerful yellow flowers add vertical accent and seasonal charm. It pairs well with other moisture-loving natives in a dedicated bog or fen-style planting.
