Pitchers of this hybrid are both striking and sublime. It has a relatively long, narrow throat topped with a cream hood veined in red. The lips are red with a slight pout. White spots and red veins fade into green as they go down the pitcher. Unlike similar hybrids, Adrian Slack grows very slowly and produces only one or two pitchers per growth point. This plant thrives best where the growing season is long and hot. Look for its best pitchers in late summer.

This plant was named after a renowned pioneer in carnivorous plant cultivation, Adrian Slack. It is a natural hybrid (S. flava x leucophylla) discovered by Bob Hanrahan (another legend in the carnivorous plant community) in Santa Rosa County, Florida.
