Sarracenia leucophylla x oreophila
$29.95
This fantastic cross combines the best of both worlds: the light-windows and translucence of Sarracenia leucophylla, with the stout form and vigor of S. oreophila. A truly rewarding beauty, it produces many full-sized pitchers with generously wide mouths. The upper portions of the trap are dotted with light windows, so that in the sun they catch light and glow like fat green lanterns! During the hottest parts of summer, the plant will take a short siesta. In late summer when the weather cools, look for a fresh set of larger pitchers for the fall season. Produces many stunning red flowers in spring. Pitchers on a mature plant reach 16 inches.

Sunlight: Full sun during the growing season.

Sarracenia
Slow growing but looking well. No new shoots yet. Do these plants require some water inside them unless rain is enough?

The plant arrived well packaged and in good shape. It soon grew 2 new leaves which are now 18 inches tall and ready to catch bugs. Within the past week it has also grown a tall shoot with a flower.
