What are butterworts?

Butterworts (Pinguicula) are like your grandparent's African Violets, but with teeth!

They are carnivorous plants that use sticky traps on their leaves to lure, capture, and digest small insects. When well fed and cared for, they produce flowers that hold their own against orchids.

Butterworts make pest-eating companions for your houseplants, terrariums, and outdoor garden.
