In our collection of Sarracenia leucophylla, we identified a strain that had slightly thinner veins than most, which made the white portion more brilliant, a very cool effect when you see a bunch of these plants together. This effect is most notable in late summer and early fall when this species produces its best pitchers of the season.

All cold hardy plants are grown outdoors at our nursery in Oregon and experience the changes of the seasons. Care instructions are provided.

    I saw the display of plants at the Saturday Market and through I'd experiment with purchasing some. The gentleman at the market indicated you had considerable experience in shipping these delicate looking plants and I was pleasantly surprised when the plants arrived with multiple layers of protection. The plants are now happily living in pots on my porch. Thank you very much for expanding my garden in a new direction.

    Held up great in shipping

    Very impressed with the quality of the sarracenia I received. The plant was about 18 inches when it arrived and was packaged well to stand up to the stress of shipping. The plant looks even better in person. This was my first order from SNW, but it won't be my last.
