Sarracenia Garçon Point (*NEW)
This plant has been circulating in cultivation since the late 1990s. It's very attractive and grows well throughout the growing season. It looks very much like S. flava rubricorpora with its red pitchers and yellow lids, but it has orange flowers. (A true rubricorpora has yellow flowers.) This means this flava-looking plant was likely bred with S. rosea several generations back.
*Newly introduced to our inventory in 2024.
Type of Plant: Outdoor perennial for container growing.
Height: Up to 18-20 inches.
Sunlight: Full sun during the growing season.
Water: Low-mineral water (50 ppm or less).
Soil: Equal parts peat moss and perlite only.

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.
