We named this plant after our first nursery dog, Hank, who was a loving gentle giant. Like its namesake, this plant is an unconfirmed hybrid, though we highly suspect that it's a cross of Sarracenia flava atropurpurea and Sarracenia leucophylla. The plant is red, big, and a hefty eater. It loves to bask in the sun, sit in water, and enjoy attention from customers. Its best growth occurs in spring and early to mid summer.

Beautiful plant. Arrived in good condition. Hank lives on.
Love Hank!
I love this plant ! I'm very in love with it
This is a very nice Sarracenia! It has produced at least a half dozen pitchers since I planted it. Nice subtle coloring on the cap/ hood, not gaudy but still colorful.
Hi I really like the package and the sarracenia hank is colorful and tall is one of my favorite
The plants are extremely healthy and are a nice sized clump. They were packed very well and arrived in great shape.
The plant arrived in good condition and is outside in full sun and 82 degree weather.
