This form of S. leucophylla has an extraordinarily pouty lips, more so than other forms. We're not sure how we acquired it, but we think it grew from an open-pollinated seed in our collection since that's how we get much of our plants. A fellow grower drooled over this plant and asked Jacob what he was going to call it. He jokingly said, "Juju Lips." That was a term he used in Hawaii as a kid for someone with large lips because those lips are magic! Who wouldn't want to be kissed by large, magic lips? But, we dropped the "lips" and just call it "Juju" because of the qualities it imparts when bred with other plants. As with other forms of S. leucophylla, this plant produces its largest pitchers and most pronounced pouty lips in late summer.

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: Early season pitchers are often thin and wispy.
June-August: Non-carnivorous leaves may appear alongside thin pitchers.
September: Stunning vibrant pitchers finally appear.
October: Dormancy begins. Fewer pitchers. No new growth until spring.
November-December: Plant is dormant. Browned pitchers are cut off.
