Sarracenia leucophylla x mitchelliana

This is a true late-season grower. It produces its best pitchers late in September and into October. When backlit by the setting sun in early autumn, the plant appears to glow. The lower part of the pitchers is red, while the upper part has large white specks. Colors grow more vivid as the nights get colder. Don't worry about frost; this plant will keep its pitchers into December, even after a series of frost and light snow.
