Sarracenia Extreme Green
$49.95
One of our employees dubbed this plant Beefcake because of its hefty, stout pitchers. With a large specimen, the entire plant seems to bulge at the seams. The plant is a hybrid of Sarracenia flava rugelii and S. oreophila. Its pitchers are chartreuse with an oversized hood and dark maroon mottling at the back of the throat. Pitchers are complete with a pouty lip. Its best pitchers are in spring and early summer when the weather is mild. As the season progresses into summer and the weather heats up, pitchers might discolor along the hood. In late summer when the weather cools, you may see another burst of pitchers. By mid-fall, pitchers will die back. Look for new growth in spring.
