Sarracenia Ladies in Waiting
$39.95
Ladies in Waiting is a complex cross bred by the late Dr. Larry Mellichamp, professor of botany at the University of North Carolina in Charlotte. The plant was also registered with the International Carnivorous Plant Society in 1998, so this hybrid has been around for a while. (Dr. Mellichamp visited our nursery in 2022. He said that we had the largest collection of Ladies in Waiting he had ever seen. Such an honor!)
Pitchers face the center of the plant and resembles women dressed in gorgeous red clamshell hoods with white speckles having a chat. On an adult plant, pitchers will reach 10-12 inches. Its best growth occurs in mid to late summer.

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.

Love the ladies!
These ladies are doing great. The ants seem to love them. They have had a steady trail strait down their trap the past couple of days. There is now a lot fewer ants in the trail. They are piling up in the pitcher. I love it!
