Sarracenia alata AL 09 pubescent form Deer Park Alabama

Description

Tall, slightly more hairy, greenish yellow pitchers with red veining up into the lid . Flower spikes bear rather strange looking blooms during April and May. Like all Sarracenias they need to stand in 2.5cm (1″) of soft (rain) water in acidic nutrient-less soil in full sun for good growth. They are efficient fly and wasp catchers both indoors and out. Good as container plants. Keep well hydrated spring to autumn but keep just damp in winter. Needs a cold winter dormancy for long term plant health. Good flycatchers for a sunny window sill. Plants may be sent bare rooted.
