Sarracenia alata Orthus (Improved Night)
$149.95
See below for a full description.
"Orthus" is a carefully selected specimen resulting from the self-crossing of "Night." Its pitchers are tall and remarkably dark, even darker than "Night" itself. It thrives where the sun shines brightly, nights are warm, and the growing season is long. In late summer, this plant produces its largest pitchers of the season, with very dark colors that extend down the pitcher before fading to green. "Orthus" has become one of our favorite plants in the nursery.
