Sarracenia leucophylla x purpurea
This is a natural hybrid of Sarracenia leucophylla and S. purpurea. When pitchers first emerge, they are pinkish white with bright red veins. As the pitcher matures, the red intensifies throughout the entire pitcher. Pitchers are short and stout with a frilled hood that opens upward. They also last into winter!
