The species can grow nearly ten inches tall. The leaves are oblong, linear to spatulate. The upper surface of the leaves have a covering of sticky tentacles, that attracts preys.
They grow well in a standard peat moss/sand which can be anything from 50% to 70% peat moss. There's no need to fertilize, as the plant relies on insects for food.
A very beautiful, very interesting looking plant. Frilly, double, midnight-purple fluted horns or trumpet flowers, with white interiors burst open in profusion throughout the Summer.
