This Sarracenia hybrid grows pitchers that develop a purplish-red tint under strong light. Seed was originally labeled as S. psittacina, however adult pitchers strongly resemble S. purpurea so exact parentage is unknown.
Description
Size and packing method: You will receive a bare root plant carefully wrapped in a damp paper towel. Small plants are about 1 inch in diameter with immature pitchers and medium size plants are 2-3 inches in diameter.
