In the 1990s we crossed Sarracenia oreophila with S. rubra ssp. jonesii, two very rare, yet vigorous Sarracenia. What resulted was the fastest growing Sarracenia we've yet had, which we named 'Mountain Splendor'. We selected a particular plant from that seed set in the 90s that was absolutely stunning. The pitcher mouths are broad and spouted, and the hood is slightly undulated with bronze hues. The tall traps are heavily veined. It grows two distinct sets of pitchers, one in early season, and another in late season when the weather cools down.

The prize feature of Mountain Splendor is the bright peach-colored flowers that bloom in mid spring. It is one of the most prolific bloomers in our collection.

All cold hardy plants are grown outdoors at our nursery in Oregon and experience the changes of the seasons. Care instructions are provided.

    Upon receiving the package, I was immediately impressed with how the plant was packed. And thank you for making it easy to succeed in providing care for this plant. This was the first time I have made a purchase of a carnivorous plant and by following the detailed instructions of the care guide that was provided, I have been able to keep it alive without much effort. I can't wait to see more pitchers form! Thank you. I will be ordering again.

    New Pets

    Posted by Kathryn Kelly on August 9, 2017

    The two Sarracenia x Mountain Splendor that I ordered in July arrived in excellent condition. I am impressed with the care taken in packaging for mailing. They are feeding well; there are some brown spots along the sides of the pitchers that indicate this. I named them, 'Audrey3' and 'Garth'. I am looking forward to ordering some companions, additional carnivores, for my 'babies' from you in the future.

    Gorgeous Plant

    Posted by Jesse Iford on June 12, 2016

    No flower this year but the plant has settled in nicely and buzzes angrily whenever I'm watering it.
