Sarracenia Green Monster

Green Monster is a cross of the anthocyanin-free Sarracenia leucophylla and anthocyanin-free Sarracenia minor; this plant has no red pigment at all. Its pitchers have white spots, a pointed spout, and an umbrella-like hood. Although it grows very slowly at our nursery in Oregon, growers who experience hot, muggy summers with long growing seasons report that Green Monster grows very quickly for them. (Check out the regular form of S. leucophylla x minor!)

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.
