One of the most vigorous crosses we have, this plant grows tall like with white spots and a slightly cowled lid. In late spring and early summer, the traps develop a wonderful orange hue, which mellow to green by mid-summer. As a bonus, it retains most of its pitchers during the winter months. Plants can become quite large, dividing readily and growing quickly. Foliage is uniform and substantial, typically reaching 12-16 inches tall . A great plant for the first-time grower!

2nd Season Divisions
After dividing our mother plants in spring, we grow the divisions for a year before releasing them. You get a more vigorous plant with a healthier root system when compared to a recent division.
All outdoor perennials experience seasonal changes at our nursery in Oregon.
• January-March: Plant is dormant with no pitchers.
• April: Spring growth will appear by the end of the month.
• May: Fully developed pitchers will gradually appear.
• June-August: Full display of pitchers.
• September: Plant produces its best pitchers of the season.
• October: Dormancy begins. Fewer pitchers. No new growth until spring.
• November-December: Plant is dormant. Browned pitchers are cut off.
Received this a month ago and the plant already has one shoot about 10" tall with another at about 6". Once it started growing, it shot up extremely fast. Hopefully it continues to do well! Shipping was great, looks like a lot of attention was put into the package. It arrived in Iowa on a 20 degree day, but had heating pads inside.
The plant has arrived in great condition, and you guys put great care in the plants, and I would order from guys again, and the plant has not suffered at all thank and happy growing
Plants are doing very well.Arrived in great condition.
My new plant arrived in perfect condition, and has remained quite healthy. Her name is Unatombwa!
Wow, these pitchers and the others that I've bought consume lots of bugs in my backyard. Simply amazing!
The plant itself is in great shape, and growing fantastically. It's ability to eat insects is astonishing! However, upon original arrival of the box, some of the protective gear (I lack the proper term for it) around the box was dented. This indicates rough travel to me. However, it does not seem to matter much as the plant is doing well.
All my plants arrived in excellent condition. Thanks for doing such a good job packing them. I've repotted all of them and they are growing and look great!!! Thanks again!!!!!
My plant came packaged perfect. Looked great and very healthy.
Large hooded traps make this a unique looking addition to any Sarracenia collection
Again, very well packaged with healthy pitchers. This plant has put out 2-3 new pitchers since planting.
My plants all made it through except some sundews this winter. We are relocating to NC so, a vast majority are going "home" to live.
