This desirable form of S. leucophylla has especially stout traps, with a cavernous mouth that makes for a substantial pitcher. Like many forms of S. leucophylla, Lil' Big Mouth is a tough plant and will keep its autumn leaves well into winter. It can still be seen even after heavy snow, peeking out of the drifts!

As a late-season plant, its spring pitchers are wispy compared to the pitchers of late summer and fall. That's when this plant produces its largest and showiest pitchers. The patient gardener will be rewarded with a show-stopping plant in August and September after the summer heat subsides.

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.
