Puts on a show as it goes into dormancy
This Sarracenia is one of my a favorites from Sarracenia NW. Brilliant red venation in the hood and puts on a color show with a red, yellow and green as it goes into dormancy in the fall.

While it may not be as quick growing or prolific in pitcher production as other Sarracenia, Cascadian Summer has a very sunny disposition with its stout, yellow pitchers and splash of deep red beneath its pointed hood. Light red veins adorn the top of the hood. It's a wonderful mid to late-summer Sarracenia that forms a nice clump of pitchers, up to 8 inches tall.

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.

• April: Spring growth will appear by the end of the month.
• May: Fully developed pitchers will gradually appear.
• June-August: Full display of pitchers.
