Sarracenia x The Kraken
This hybrid was created by Sarracenia enthusiast Phil Faulisi, best known for his creation of Sarracenia Saurus, a plant that once fetched $1,500 at auction! The Kraken has tall pitchers with heavily veined hoods and dark red rims. During the growing season, it produces lots of necar along the rim to attract flying insects, such as yellow jackets, wasps, and houseflies. The plant appreciates warm temperatures and a long growing season.
