This plant was created by Sarracenia hybridist Jerry Addington. Records of its parentage were lost, but the plant appears to have features of S. leucophylla and S. oreophila . It produces a nice set of pitchers in early season in which the pitchers are lighter in color and the mouth opening is much rounder. In late season, it produces another set of pitchers that are slightly darker. The mouth also develops a more pointed spout. Overall, it's a robust grower that clumps up relatively quickly.

Type of Plant: Outdoor perennial for container growing.

Sunlight: Full sun during the growing 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.

• 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.
• October: Dormancy begins. Fewer pitchers. No new growth until spring.
• November-December: Plant is dormant. Browned pitchers are cut off.
