The sheer elegance of this plant will take your breath away. The upper part of the pitcher is white, laced with purple-red veins. Yes, this carnivorous plant is beautiful, and it knows it. It will tease you with only one or two pitchers during the hottest days of summer. In late season when the summer heat mellows, S. leucophylla will mesmerize you with a set of extra-robust pitchers, saving the best right before winter dormancy. With most white trumpets, you can enjoy their beautiful leaves well after the first frost, depending on your climate. What a sight to see a white top pitcher peeking out at you through the snow! In mid to late spring, look for large red flowers.
