Sarracenia Art's Surprise

We acquired a division of this plant from another grower who received it as a seedling. The seedling was labeled as Sarracenia leucophylla species and was thought to be free of red pigment. However, when the plant reached maturity, it apparently was not a leucophylla species but a hybrid possibly with S. flava, and it had red pigment. That was Art’s surprise. The plant is a vigorous grower and divides very well. Pitchers are tall and handsome. The hood is ruffled with faint white spots against a green background. The interior has red veins.
Type of Plant: Outdoor perennial for container growing.
Height: Up to 24 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.
