Without a doubt, this plant is one of the largest Sarracenia in our collection. One of our mother plant grew a clump nearly over 18 inches across and had pitchers reaching a whopping 36 inches! Extreme Green is an early season plant. It blooms early and profusely, typically 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 adult plants, overhanging a wide, spouted mouth. Pitchers develop a prominent throat patch after a few weeks after opening. As an early season plant, it also goes dormant early. By August, pitchers will start to dry up , starting from the top. By late September, the plant will be fully dormant.

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.
All outdoor perennials experience seasonal changes at our nursery in Oregon.
• January-March: Plant is dormant with no pitchers.
• April: Spring growth will appear by the end of the month.
• May: Fully developed pitchers will start to appear.
• June: Full display of pitchers. This plant will look its best!
• July-August: Plant will slow down when it’s hot. Some minor spotting.
• September-October: Dormancy begins. Fewer pitchers. No new growth until spring.
• November-December: Plant is dormant. Browned pitchers are cut off.
The plant I received had two pitchers that certainly tower over everything else in my collection, it's been a month and already its started new growth points and was able to tolerate the hot month of July flawlessly. I'm more than happy with my purchase.
My sarracenia was delivered in excellent condition and is doing well. As is everything I get.
The plant is huge and arrived in healthy conditions.
As soon as I put it outside it started catching flies , such a beautiful plant thank you guys!
As usual, plant purchased from SNW arrived in great shape given the careful packaging and expedited shipping. Plants are doing well and happily growing.
I had no idea this bad boy would be so big! It's started putting out pitchers and I can't wait to see them open.
