Sarracenia Extreme Green
$49.95
Green Monster is a cross of the all-green Sarracenia leucophylla and all-green Sarracenia minor; the plant has no red pigment at all. Its pitchers have white spots, a pointed spout, and an umbrella-like hood. Although it grows very slowly at our nursery in Oregon, growers who experience hot, muggy summers with long growing seasons report that Green Monster grows very quickly for them. (Check out the regular form of S. leucophylla x minor!)

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.
