Sarracenia flava atropurpurea
$69.95
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! To maintain its rich color, you will definitely need 10 or more hours of direct sunlight per day. This one loves it bright and sunny! It also helps if you have a long growing season.

Sunlight: Full sun during the growing season.
Water: Low-mineral water (50 ppm or less).
