Bred in England in 1985, this plant quickly became a coveted classic. It has been widely regarded as one of the finest Sarracenia ever created for its uniform shape, moderate height, colorful pitchers, and steady growth throughout the growing season. The traps are stunning. Young leaves are green, streaked with red, and heavily speckled with white around the top. The pitchers quickly turn to the deepest berry-red, leaving the top of the ruffled lid dotted with pink and white, while the rest of the trap assumes darker tones. Leaves are of medium height, and growth is compact and uniform. Older plants are somewhat more robust, but are otherwise identical to younger ones. Its ease of growth and reliable nature make Judith Hindle a prize in any collection.
PLANT YOU RECEIVE

ABOUT JUVENILE PLANTS
These plants are approximately 2-3 years old and will reach flowering maturity within an additional 3-4 growing seasons.
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.
