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.

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.
Terrible salad and I can't recommend your restaurant..... In all seriousness,a very pleasant experience, shipping was fast and packaged safely.The plant is beginning to grow.Once I find some more space I'll be looking forward to expanding the c.p. collection.
I recieved the plant i ordered quickly and although it is dormant right now, Jan. , It appears to be in good condition.
An excellent example in great condition. Thanks!
My plant came BIGGER than I thought, a total of 3 growing shoots attached to one rhizome which is HUGE. Definitely recommend.
So far during this cold winter season I have found little wilting around the edges of the hood though I know that is natural during winter. It has started growing flower stems and I can't wait for them to bloom in the spring. It arrived in perfect shape but with less color than natural. It may be because of not having sunlight.
This Sarracenia leucophylla is a excellent plant like all the plants that I have ordered from Sarracenia Northwest, it never suffered from transplant shock and was very well packaged and a well developed root system, it is growing well with many new pitchers. Thanks many times Joe W.
