Pitchers on this hybrid are fabulously colorful with dark red mottling and a broad, striped peristome. In fact, it's one of the most ornate pitchers around! The plant also grows relatively quickly and is adaptable to many growing conditions, which makes it suitable as a houseplant. It's certainly a gem that even seasoned Nepenthes collectors won't want to pass up!

    I love ordering from Sarracenia NW! Their plants are always in such good shape when they arrive and grow like weeds on my windowsill. Will definitely order from them again.

    Well, after I ran into the Sarracenia Northwest- YouTube channel and I really wanted to grown the Carnivorous plants. I had order few of the plants from Sarracenia Northwest nursery to started. The plants arrived alive , well packed and the plants were in excellent condition. So far, here in Texas the weather still warm and the plants are putting out more pitchers- I couldn’t be any more happy than that to see my plants are doing so well! Thank you for being excellency growers!

    Extremely Happy With This Plant

    Posted by Brian Haley on August 11, 2019

    I received this plant a month ago and it was larger than I had anticipated. It was the most carefully packaged plant I had purchased online. The plant itself never missed a beat, it continued to develop pitchers, even the one that it had started before it was shipped. The plant is doing great on a South facing window in Pennsylvania, temperatures hitting 90 degrees at times around the plant, lows in the 70's and it's a real trooper. Could not be happier and will purchase from these guys again!

    Nice plant, quick delivery!

    As usual, SNW delivers great quality plants. Plant arrived quickly and in great shape. Considerable sized cutting with two growth points. Immediately began producing new leaves and pitchers. I will always be a faithful customer of SNW.
