Swamp Ghost is one of our favorite S. leucophylla. Besides its thin maroon veins against a brilliant white background, this plant stands out. At 24 inches, towering over other forms of S. leucophylla in the same pool, it's hard not to notice it! Look for its dramatic pitchers in late season.

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: Early season pitchers are often thin and wispy.
• June-August: Non-carnivorous leaves may appear alongside thin pitchers.
• September: Stunning vibrant pitchers finally appear.
• October: Dormancy begins. Fewer pitchers. No new growth until spring.
• November-December: Plant is dormant. Browned pitchers are cut off.
