Sarracenia leucophylla Tarnok
$39.95
See below for a full description.
S. leucophylla features a ruffled hood beautifully patterned with red veins against a bright white background, giving way to red and green further down the trap. The cultivar 'Tarnok' is unique among Sarracenia, bearing stunning double-petaled flowers with whorls of overlapping sepals—like little red pinecones! Native to the narrow coastal regions of Alabama, 'Tarnok' is especially cold-hardy at our nursery in Oregon and withstands winter freezes easily. It is a fast and vigorous grower, forming dense clusters of growth points that create a breathtaking display. Unlike other forms of S. leucophylla that produce pitchers only in late summer, Tarnok produces pitchers from mid-spring to early fall. This plant was registered with the International Carnivorous Plant Society in 1993.

Sarracenia ‘Tarnok’
The USPS really dropped the ball on this shipment. It took them a ‘week’ do deliver a shipment that normally takes 2 days. If not for the quality of the plant and quality of the packing from Sarracenia Northwest I think the plant’s survival would have been questionable. The plant recovered nicely and is growing great! ?

My plants were shipped to me fast and arrived in great shape. I potted them up when they arrived and have flushed out with pitchers in the last month since I have had them. Very happy with my purchase and I will be buy from here in the future.

I love it!
It arrived very quickly after shipping and started growing very well. Now, a month later I have two almost mature pitchers and a few more sprouting up. Can’t wait to see it in the summer!
