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.

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.
