Sarracenia x Hummer's Hammerhead
$34.95
Hummer's Hammerhead is a classic cultivar that has been circulating the carnivorous plant world for many years. The plant gets its name from its hammer-shaped pitchers. Pitchers are curved upright, and the lids are broad and speckled. Pitchers can last well into winter, turning bright yellow with red veins as the weather cools. It grows extremely quickly in appropriate conditions, forming dense clumps of growth points in just a few seasons. When seeing a group of these plants together, you might think they were a cluster of mushrooms! An adult plant may reach 6 inches tall.
Type of Plant: Outdoor perennial for container growing.
Height: Up to 6 inches.
Sunlight: Full sun during the growing season.
Water: Low-mineral water (50 ppm or less).
Soil: Equal parts peat moss and perlite only.
Winter: Dormant. Minimal protection in USDA zones 7-9. Mulch in colder regions.

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.
• January-March: Plant is dormant with no pitchers.
• April: Spring growth will appear by the end of the month.
• May: Fully developed pitchers will gradually appear.
• June-August: Full display of pitchers.
• September: Plant produces its best pitchers of the season.
• October: Dormancy begins. Fewer pitchers. No new growth until spring.
• November-December: Plant is dormant. Browned pitchers are cut off.
