Beautiful and Healthy Plants
I received my order quickly and the plants look great
This natural hybrid is one that can be seen in Northern Florida. Its pitchers are purple and green, with darker purple hues dominating the upper quarter. The dark pigment mixes with white splotching throughout the cowled, ruffled lid and the front sides of the tube. But, it is the light windows which steal the show. A mass of outstanding white fenestration covers the inflated tube all the way down the top third of the pitcher like stained glass. Its triangular lip, which sometimes drips obscenely with nectar, is almost black.

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.

• April: Spring growth will appear by the end of the month.
• May: Fully developed pitchers will gradually appear.
• June-August: Full display of pitchers.
• September: Plant produces its best pitchers of the season.
• October: Dormancy begins. Fewer pitchers. No new growth until spring.
• November-December: Plant is dormant. Browned pitchers are cut off.
