Nepenthes Peter D'Amato (Rooted Cutting)
$79.95
N. ventricosa x lowii was first done in the early 1990s by Johannes Marabini. From this original batch of seedlings came this cultivar (among others), so clones of this cross have been around for many years, which is a testament to its ease of growth.
Named after the acclaimed carnivorous plant grower and author Peter D'Amato, this cultivar is a showstopper. Lower pitchers are stout and squat. They're so red they're almost black, with bristles under the lid and a ridged peristome. The upper pitchers are not as darkly colored as the lower pitchers when they first open, but they are very rigid and gourd-like. The interior is glossy red and slippery. The entire pitcher is shaped bulbous-shaped with a tight waist. This plant grows perfectly as a houseplant. After acclimating to its new home, 'Peter D'Amato' can produce pitchers that last up to 6 months!

Peter D'Amato cutting
Awesome cutting, huge leaf spawn, and it came in great condition; there was care in the packaging and I would recommend Sarracenia Nortwest, they are awesome.

Sarracenia Northwest: The Gold Standard
I have purchased lots of carnivorous plants from Sarracenia Northwest. They are always of robust, superior quality and always arrive impeccably packaged and in perfect condition. This gives them a huge head start when compared with the weak and stressed plants I have received from other places. Other vendors don't come close to the quality and packaging of these folks, who obviously take great pride in their work. They are the gold standard in carnivorous plant sales.

Amazing Nepenthes
I ordered a Nepenthes x Peter D’Amato and I just have to say I am more than happy with my purchase, they have amazing quality plants and they do an amazing job packaging the plants. When I received my plant it was big and healthy, it had a pitcher about to open. My plant is thriving and still has that amazing pitcher that was opening when I first got it and it’s growing new pitchers as well. I definitely recommend buying from Sarracenia Northwest, I have always been more than happy with my purchases from them.

Amazing
Absolutely thrilled with my order from SNW. The prices is unbelievable for what you receive. Could not be more happy. Mine came with one fully developed pitcher and a second not too far behind. Once in my grow setup it quickly popped that second pitcher and hasn't stopped since. Looking forward to ordering again

Excellent
Another fantastic plant. Once more when it was received by me, it instantly began growing. There was a single closed pitcher already produced and by the next morning it had already opened. It just looks amazing as well
