Nepenthes villosa x burkeii (Seed Grown) (Shipped Bare-Root)

This exciting Philippine-Bornean cross combines Mount Kinabalu's legendary villosa—renowned for its ferocious, tooth-lined peristome and distinctive hairy foliage—with the high-altitude burkeii from Mindoro. Collectors prize villosa hybrids for inheriting that spectacular dentate peristome while gaining vigor and pitcher diversity from the burkeii parent, making seed-grown specimens like this invaluable for exploring hybrid characteristics across two distinct geographic lineages.
