Sarracenia x Goliath
As the name suggests, this plant gets quite big, not necessarily of biblical proportions, but big enough. It’s a hybrid created by Jerry Addington, though its parentage is unknown. The plant has tall, vase-like pitchers that start off yellow with red infusions. The redness deepens as the pitcher matures while the lid remains yellow, creating a striking contrast. This plant requires a long growing season and lots of summer heat to achieve its characteristic colors and height.
