The influence of S. flava atropurpurea on this cross is vividly apparent, with tall, gracefully tapered pitchers capped by wide, frilly oversized lids, all in dazzling shades of rust, cranberry, and crimson. A nice, relatively compact flava-type hybrid, it yields a dazzling display, growing bigger and better each season!
WYSIWYG--you'll receive the exact plant shown, a huge, healthy specimen, ready for your bog garden, porch, or home. Sarracenias (native North American Pitcher Plants) are amazing carnivores, luring and capturing hundreds of insects over the course of their long growing season. These perennials are hardy in many parts of the country (see our growing instructions for specifics for your zone.) Grow these beauties in full, bright sun with their feet constantly wet (we grow them submurged within 1-1/2 inches of the top of the pot, always in rainwater or distilled water, never tap!) Grown outdoors in suitable weather, they'll capture plenty of wasps, flies, and other insects to supplement their nutritional needs, so never fertilize them, and they'll be super-happy, coming back bigger and better season after season!

Larger Sarracenias are shipped bare-root, carefully packaged, unless otherwise requested. This greatly reduced shipping cost, and plants tend to travel better and adapt, just as quickly when shipped this way.
