Sarracenia Turtle Bog x Towering Inferno (SG)
Turtle Bog is the mountain form of S. purpurea venosa, which has beautiful ruffled hooded pitchers with red veins against a orange-yellow background. Towering Inferno is a form of S. flava cuprea that gets 3 feet tall! We have high hopes for this pairing. Seedlings are growing quickly and getting much taller and more colorful than other forms of S. purpurea x flava.
