Sarracenia Fledgling

We first encountered this hybrid in a book, Gardening with Carnivores by Nick Romanowski (University Press of Florida, 2002). At first glance, we knew we had to add it to our collection. It features a beautiful fan-shaped hood with red veins on a white background. Luckily, we found a grower who had one in stock, and we quickly acquired it. Since then, that single mother plant has produced hundreds of divisions over the decades. We still don't know who created the hybrid, so we can't confirm its exact parentage, but it appears to have originated in Australia. Pitchers in early summer tend to be pinkish. As the weather warms up, the white colors become more intense. Pitchers look their best in mid to late summer when the weather is hot.

GENERAL CARE
Type of Plant: Outdoor perennial for container growing.
Height: Up to 12 inches.
Sunlight: Full sun during the growing season.
Water: Low-mineral water (50 ppm or less).
Soil: Equal parts peat moss and perlite only.

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.
