"Medusa" is an enigmatic Sarracenia which showcases the seasonal versatility of North American Pitcher Plants. In early spring, plants grow long, thin, snake-like leaves with fine dark venation that often reach 12-16 inches and drape over the sides of the container. Pitchers in late season are completely different - stout, upright, and bright yellow with thick, deep purple veins throughout. We strongly recommend trimming off early season growth to appreciate the full seasonal potentials of this plant. "Medusa" is also a prolific bloomer, sending up large array of sweet-smelling red flowers in spring.

    Nah, stare all you want. She's a beauty. She is doing exactly like the description. There were floppy traps at first, now the straight ones. Nice.

    I really appreciate the quality of the plants I receive from your Nursery and the quick shipping. I plan to build up my collection this year since I believe I finally figured out how to get them through the Winter. This was a particular tough one and I didn't lose a single plant.

    Sarracenia x Medusa (med)

    Posted by Jo on June 1, 2014

    It is amazing to me that this plant arrived in such great condition from the Pacific Northwest all the way to Tennessee. This plant and Sarracenia in general thrive in Tennessee. It is warm and humid now and this guy is growing and eating bugs like crazy.
