Mark Edwards of New Zealand created this hybrid in the late 1990s and named it after his daughter, Daina. It's a lovely plant with tall slender pitchers that can reach 12-16 inches.  In spring, the early pitchers are green at the bottom and red at the top with white speckles. By early fall, the entire pitcher turns deep red, just in time for the winter holidays!

Sunlight: Full sun during the growing season.

April: Spring growth will appear by the end of the month.
May: Fully developed pitchers will gradually appear.

    A lovely plant, indeed!

    This was my first Sarr. I wasn't prepared for the sharpness of color. Photos don't do this plant justice at all. Very beautiful, almost lacy look to the hood, and a very robust grower. Perfectly packaged, as usual.
