Sarracenia Chadwick
$24.95
Sarracenia rubra wherryi has a thin layer of fuzz on the upper portions of the red-orange foliage, along with a rounded lid and a striking yellow-green lip. On large plants, multitudes of nodding red flowers in mid to late spring make this one show-stopping - they smell like miniature roses! This is a late season plant, which means it produces its most robust traps in late summer, right after when the heat peaks. While most other forms retain some leaves in winter, this one will drop them completely.

Height: Up to 8-12 inches.
Sunlight: Full sun during the growing season.
Water: Low-mineral water (50 ppm or less).

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.

The plant had a firm rhizome crowded with leaf buds. A week into May, and it still seems to sulk. But I've grown this plant before, and I expect it to be pretty tough.

Local species
S. rubra wherryi arrived in great shape. In fact, it is late October and it still looks great! I like this species because I have seen similar looking S. rubra near my house, so I hope the climate is great.

Excellent condition
The pitcher plant was shipped perfectly, as always. It also had a threadleaf sundew as a stowaway...the first time I have a filiformis as an "extra" plant!

Bought another one
Already made a review on this plant a while back, It is a real beauty like the rest of SNW plants. At their prices, all the plants are GREAT DEALS... when I compare the plants and prices to other dealers that I dealt with in the past before I found SNW.
