This is a hybrid we created in 2009 in our attempt to create a plant that looks as close to S. rubra jonesii as possible. We crossed the species with S. oreophia x rubra jonesii, a hybrid we created in the early 1990s. (See S. Mountain Splendor.) The result is a plant that has a similar appearance as S. rubra jonesii . It grows vigorously and produces a plethora of flowers every spring. We named the plant for the mountain range in which both S. jonesii and S. oreophila occur.

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 start to appear.
• June: Full display of pitchers. This plant will look its best!
• July-August: Plant will slow down when it’s hot. Some minor spotting.
• September-October: Dormancy begins. Fewer pitchers. No new growth until spring.
• November-December: Plant is dormant. Browned pitchers are cut off.
