Sarracenia leucophylla x rubra
$29.95
This plant is simply Christmas in July! Intricate, dark-red veins of the S. rubra imposed on the color and height of S. leucophylla make for a breath-taking plant. The pitchers are predominantly red and white throughout the top half of the leaf, giving way to nearly pure red halfway down. Lids are slightly scalloped, upturned, and white with red veining. The throat is generous and inflated near the top of the trap. Interior of the pitcher is lime green. Red gradually turns to green in the lower portions of the exterior. Look for its best pitchers of the season in late summer through the first frost of fall.

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.
• September: Plant produces its best pitchers of the season.

A beautifulne hybrid
A beautiful plant. The dormant pitchers that it arrived with remind me of S. x excellens, just "open" a bit wider. A fine colorful clone mine is. Thanks SNW!
