Sarracenia Extreme Green

Without a doubt, this plant is one of the largest Sarracenia in our collection. One of our mother plants grew a clump nearly 18 inches across, with pitchers reaching an impressive 36 inches! Extreme Green is an early-season plant. It blooms early and abundantly, usually by mid-April at our nursery. Its first set of spring pitchers can easily tower over the other Sarracenia in the collection. The lids on the pitchers are also enormous, over six inches long on mature plants, overhanging a wide, spouted mouth. Pitchers develop a noticeable throat patch after a few weeks of opening. As an early-season plant, it also goes dormant early. By August, pitchers will start to dry up, beginning from the top. By late September, the plant will be fully dormant.

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.
