Sarracenia Lorax

This plant has many white spots on the upper parts of the pitcher. They appear on the front beneath the lip and wrap around to the back. The hood features a graceful pattern of red veins and frilled edges. A mature plant will produce a massive rhizome that can be easily divided. Pitchers also last throughout winter.

The plant was named after a beloved friend, Margaret Eng. She worked for the Outdoor School in Portland, Oregon, and was a strong advocate for bringing the natural sciences to schoolchildren. Hundreds of kids got to know her as "Lorax." We were fortunate to have known a gentle, yet passionate, soul, so we named this plant after her Outdoor School nickname.
