Sarracenia alata Red Hood
$34.95
Botanically known as Sarracenia alata var. rubrioperculata, this plant has pointed hoods with a dark red interior. In spring, the plant stands out with its bright yellow-green pitchers with thin red veins. In late summer, it produces a second set of pitchers that are larger and darker with heavier veining. And guess what? This plant feasts on lots of yellow jackets at our nursery!

Excellent experience!
The packaging was great, as usual. The plant looks very healthy and I can wait for it to come out of dormancy!

Nice color
Best packaged plants I have received from any grower. Plants were healthy and perfect size to get started in hot Texas sun. Once they acclimated, they have great color.

now one of my favorites
I've had this variety for about a month at least. When it came in the mail it was beautiful with 10 inch pitchers. Smaller than expected but still gorgeous. About a month later after purchasing, it had like a growth spurt like seriously this pitcher doubled in size and the red on it makes it look like a flower from a distance :))) very beautiful. Unlike my yellow trumpet and my leucophyllas, they don't seem to take a rest and instead take the summer heat like it's nothing and it's producing very nice large leaves.
