Sarracenia leucophylla Hot Pink (*NEW)
The name Hot Pink refers to a group of S. leucophylla progeny whose lineage originated from Baldwin County, AL. Of the two clones we have in our collection, this one is our favorite. It has tall, slender, crimson pitchers that give way to a white hood with red veins. These pitchers have high contrast and will look stunning when grouped with other forms of S. leucophylla, such as Schnell's Ghost, Green, and Tarnok. At our nursery in Oregon, Hot Pink produces its characteristic red pitchers in early July. Grow this plant in lots of sunlight to see the full potential of this plant.
