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. Pitchers on a mature plant often grow to 6-8 inches. It's certainly a gem that even seasoned Nepenthes collectors won't want to pass up!

    Great care went into packaging this little gem. The colors are great and it appears to have come from extremely healthy stock. I will certainly purchase from this company again!

    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.
