While it may not be as quick-growing or as prolific in pitcher production as other Sarracenia, Cascadian Summer has a very sunny disposition, with its stout, yellow pitchers and a splash of deep red beneath its pointed hood. Light red veins adorn the top of the hood. It's a wonderful mid to late-summer Sarracenia that forms a nice clump of pitchers, up to 8 inches tall.

    This Sarracenia is one of my a favorites from Sarracenia NW. Brilliant red venation in the hood and puts on a color show with a red, yellow and green as it goes into dormancy in the fall.
