Sarracenia x mitchelliana "Green"
$39.95
Sarracenia x mitchelliana is an old term for Sarracenia leucophylla x purpurea that some growers still use as shorthand. Sarracenia x 'Juthatip Soper' is the most famous representative of this cross, but this green form of S. x mitchelliana sports a rare, eye-popping neon green instead of the more common red-purple - it lacks the gene for red pigment.
Translucent windows on the handsome, elephant-ear lids catch light and make this plant radiate in ways most other Sarracenia cannot. Unlike most other mitchelliana, whose darkening complexions overtime reduce their luminosity, the light-catching qualities of the green form will keep until the leaf dies. The leaves are somewhat winter-hardy. Flowers are green.
