One of the most vigorous crosses we have, this plant grows tall with white spots and a slightly cowled lid. In late spring and early summer, the traps develop a wonderful orange hue, which mellows to green by mid-summer. As a bonus, it retains most of its pitchers during the winter months. Plants can become quite large, dividing readily and growing quickly. Foliage is uniform and substantial, typically reaching 12-16 inches tall. A great plant for the first-time grower! This plant was part of our original inventory in 1995!
