Sarracenia alata Wendigo
$99.95
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!

Sunlight: Full sun during the growing season.

The rhizome you sent was enormous and is growing very bright green pitchers. Extremely pleased with this plant.

Doing great so far
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.

Requested review
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.
