If you're searching for a large, fast-growing plant of outsized proportions, Cateo might be the one for you! Emerging early in spring, its pitchers are about 12 inches tall and have striking elephant-like yellow-green lids that cover the understated mouth. It’s a popular trend in Sarracenia collections to combine tall growth with oversized lids. A single plant can seem to occupy more space than most other Sarracenia because of its massive lid. The leaves gradually change from green to orange-red throughout summer. However, its best pitchers appear in early to mid-summer.

ABOUT MATURE DIVISIONS
After we divide our mother plants, we allow the rhizomes to mature for at least one full growing season, sometimes two, before including them in our inventory. You get a much more vigorous and robust plant than one that has been recently divided.
