Sarracenia flava atropurpurea (SG)

This showy variety of Sarracenia flava is gorgeous from any angle. The entire pitcher turns dark orange-red, including most of the exterior, the mouth, and on both sides of the lid. Under full sun, the lid produces copious amounts of nectar that is great for luring and trapping yellow jackets! This variety grows a little slower than typical Sarracenia flava, so you'll need to be patient. To maintain its rich color, you will definitely need 10 or more hours of direct sunlight per day, otherwise it'll look like a typical yellow trumpet. It also helps if you have a long growing season. This one loves it bright and sunny!
