Sarracenia Bengal Tiger x Extreme Green (SG)
Bengal Tiger is a natural form of S. flava x purpurea with pitchers of moderate height, but features a heavily flared, colorful hood . Extreme Green is fast growing hybrid with pitchers that get up to 3 feet tall. We were pleasantly surprised to see a wide variety of colors and patterns from this pairing. Seedlings are also growing quickly due to it's Extreme Green parentage.
