This form of Sarracenia leucophylla lacks red pigment (Anthocyanin-Free), so its veins are green rather than red. Like other forms of S. leucophylla, it produces 1 or 2 pitchers per growth point. Pitchers look their best in late summer and early fall. This plant is best for the patient gardener as it grows more slowly than other forms of S. leucophylla.

My Favorite pitcher plant
This is by far my favorite American pitcher plant. Only the hurricane creek white variety triumphs it. As always it came in very great no problem at all. I love the fact that they don't go dormant early like my yellow trumpets and they show off their best pitchers in late summer. I am really digging this plant it's just so beautiful. The white really makes it look like a flower! I will be buying alot of them next year hahaha. RECOMMENDED
