We acquired the mother plant from a fellow grower who named the plant Barry (as in inside joke). The plant is a vigorous grower and features a bronze hue that washes over the pitchers throughout the growing season. In spring, look for red-orange flowers. Its best pitchers are produced in spring and early summer. By mid season when the temperature heats up, the plant slows down significantly, but the color intensifies. Overall, it is a very attractive stout plant.

Sunlight: Full sun during the growing season.
