The term Feist Dog originates from the rural regions of the southern United States and refers to small, mixed-breed hunting dogs. We use that term at the nursery for any Sarracenia with unknown parentage, particularly those from open-field pollination. Many fine specimens that we have offered over the years have come from this sort of random pollination. Because they were first grown from seed, each one is a unique specimen. Each Feist Dog Sarracenia has a personality unique to its own!
Photos are for descriptive purposes. Size, shape, and color will vary considerably. All selection is done randomly.

Plants arrived in excellent condition over three weeks ago. The dragon is putting out additional traps ever 3 to 5 days. I transplanted per instructions but had questions about my pond setting. The helpful staff replied to my questions and helped ease my concerns. Both plants are still looking great. Thanks again to Jacob and Jeff. I am planning on adding to my collection in the future and will purchase from Sarracenia Northwest again.
Plants arrived looking great and are growing like crazy. I already have three twelve inch tubes!
Very pleased with all the stuff I got from you guys, thanks!
Placed an order for 2 hearty carnivorous plants for the northwest. Received plants and repotted. Weather was bleak but plants are doing great. Finally getting some sun and the plants are very responsive. Thanks.
My plants arrived quickly and in great condition. Instructions for unpacking and care were included. New growth has started already.
I'm thinking about buying more
