    This is my first pitcher plant and it is growing very nicely along with putting new pitchers out.

    This plant is growing and beginning to get pitchers. Sarracenia is awesome!

    Pleased with purchase

    Posted by Keith Coleman on January 13, 2020

    I ordered a N. ventricosa and received a nice plant of the size I like to start with. I thought I might receive a smaller plant, but, fortunately, I received a plant that is the perfect size. As usual, the plant was packed for shipment in a careful manner, and even a heat pad was included. Thanks, guys.

    Lovely little plant

    Posted by Unknown on February 28, 2019

    Shipped safely and arrived in great condition even though it was midwinter. As a bonus, there were already a couple small pitchers on the vine. I thought I'd have to wait for them to grow, but they were already grown and healthy!

    Gorgeous! I'm super happy

    Posted by Ariana on January 20, 2019

    I was super happy when my little pitcher plant arrived. It was packaged super carefully and I was surprised it was so nicely grown! It's my first time ordering and I assumed it would be a tiny little baby plant a couple inches high, but it arrived with 5 fully formed pitchers, some of which were huge! The plant was a good 4 or 5 inches high in a nice, green plastic pot. I'd highly recommend this plant (it's survived me and is doing well) and this website. I've already told a couple of friends.
