One of the most vigorous crosses we have, this plant grows tall like with white spots and a slightly cowled lid. In late spring and early summer, the traps develop a wonderful orange hue, which mellow 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!

Type of Plant: Outdoor perennial for container growing.
Height: 12-16 inches.
Sunlight: Full sun during the growing season.
Water: Low-mineral water (50 ppm or less).
Soil: Equal parts peat moss and perlite only.
Winter: Dormant. Minimal protection in USDA zones 7-9. Mulch in colder regions.

    The plant itself is in great shape, and growing fantastically. It's ability to eat insects is astonishing! However, upon original arrival of the box, some of the protective gear (I lack the proper term for it) around the box was dented. This indicates rough travel to me. However, it does not seem to matter much as the plant is doing well.

    My plants all made it through except some sundews this winter. We are relocating to NC so, a vast majority are going "home" to live.
