Mark Edwards of New Zealand created this hybrid in the late 1990s and named it after his daughter, Daina. It's a lovely plant with tall slender pitchers that can reach 12-16 inches. In spring, the early pitchers are green at the bottom and red at the top with white speckles. By early fall, the entire pitcher turns deep red, just in time for the winter holidays!

2nd Season Divisions
After dividing our mother plants in spring, we grow the divisions for a year before releasing them. You get a more vigorous plant with a healthier root system when compared to a recent division.
