The Sarracenia, or American Pitcher plant can be found naturally growing in North America. These carnivorous plants are one of the easiest to grow. Should you have a spot outside which will receive full sun and where you can provide the plants with good, clean water then you too can grow Sarracenia.
Sarracenia '106' is a hybrid crossed between:
S. Leuco. Red & White very stocky Autumn Pitcher Plant. Dave Taylor, late 70's (Mkiing L64) (LE 44 RVL)
x
S. Leuco. "Purple & White" Giant form. Rouote 71, Altha, Florida.
Commonly grown in pots sitting in water, Sarracenia should never be allowed to dry out. Always keep pots in a few centimeters of water. If you have a number of plants you can place them all in a tray filled with water which you can top up as and when needed.
As always healthy plants arrived carefully wrapped at our door. They were immediately unpacked and are happily doing their best to decrease our insect populations.
