Excellent plant
The plant has adjusted well to our texas heat and is growing new pitchers and catching lots of bugs.
Sarracenia leucophylla Tarnok
$34.95
S. leucophylla has a ruffled hood beautifully patterned with red veins against a brilliant white complexion, giving way to red and green further down the trap. The cultivar 'Tarnok' is unique among Sarracenia, bearing fantastic double-petaled flowers with whorls of overlapping sepals - like little red pinecones! Native to the narrow coastal regions of Alabama, 'Tarnok' is especially cold-hardy at our nursery in Oregon, unfazed by winter freezes. It is a fast and robust grower, forming dense masses of growth points which make for a breathtaking display. Unlike other forms of S. leucophylla that produce pitchers only in late summer, Tarnok will produce pitchers from mid spring to early fall. This plant was registered with the International Carnivorous Plant Society in 1993.

Leucophylla tarnok
One of the first leaves to come up is twisted and deformed at the top. I'm not sure why it is, it might not be anything serious, or it could be something I'm not doing right. ***RESPONSE BY SARRACENIA NORTHWEST: Sometimes the first pitcher of the season can be deformed as a result of weather fluctuations. We see that happen on a few plants at our nursery. When the weather stabilizes, the new growth will appear normal. Cut off the deformed pitcher after new pitchers emerge.

Pitcher plants
Plants were packaged with incredible care. They are now thriving with two different sprouts on each. The only reason I did not give five stars was because I thought they were a little expensive for the size.

Always in All ways
I could go on and on.....bottem line hands down, for the price, quality of product, and floor to door service. These guys know what they are doing and always in all ways they do it well.

Tarnok
Colorful and full of new growth. I am doing everything that the instruction papers say to do. Plenty of insects outside for them to consume and watering them with fresh rain water from the bottom.

Sarracenia leucophylla, Tarnok
This was my first live plant purchase with this company. I have ordered from other places and always got burned so I was certain this time would be no different. What a wonderful surprise to find nice, big hardy plants. Packaged to perfection and delivered within the 3 day priority deadline. I could not be happier! My new plants are thriving!
