Seasonal Appearance and Monthly Care Video
The parent plants of this hybrid are Sarracenia alata and S. leucophylla. Like other forms of this hybrid, this one undergoes a wonderful transformation. When pitchers first develop, they are pink. As the pitcher matures and the temperature rises, those pink pitchers lighten up and look very similar as a typical form of S. alata x leucophylla. We dubbed this plant pinky because of it's sublime pink pitchers in early summer.

Type of Plant:
Sarracenia hybrid. Cold hardy perennial for outdoor growing.
Size of Adult Plants:

18 inches tall.

A late season plant.
Medium Sarracenia rhizomes are mature divisions shipped in 4-inch pots. Divisions from select mother plants were done in March 2014. Pitchers are expected to reach 12-18 inches during their first season after division.

We grow all cold hardy plants outdoors at our nursery in Oregon. This means your plant will be acclimated for outdoor growing throughout the year. They will experience heat and sun in summer and frost and snow in winter.
