This plant gets its name from its cluster of snake-like pitchers. Fortunately, these little cobras are harmless, unless you're an insect, of course! The most unique feature about this plant is its velvety red pitchers. Grow this plant in full sun to maintain its deep red colors. Look for its best pitchers in mid to late summer, up to 8 inches. (NOTE: This plant is completely unrelated to Darlingtonia, commonly called the cobra plant.)
