Sarracenia flava x minor

This cross is rarely encountered in cultivation. Yet, it stands out as a striking deviation from the abundance of white-top pitcher hybrids that are so popular. Pitchers are almost pure yellow-green in early summer. The lid is domed, broad, elongated, and cowled over the black-rimmed mouth. Though a simple plant, the vivid color and the concealed opening to the trap give this one a unique appearance. In late season, the hoods darken under the summer sun.

PLANT YOU RECEIVE
• Mature division from select mother plants.

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.
