Sarracenia Lorax x Extreme Green (SG)
Sarracenia Lorax (formerly known as Margaret Eng) was a hybrid that we released in 2019. It’s a tall stout white-top plant with influences of S. minor that produces stunning pitchers in late season. Extreme Green is a very tall plant (up to 36 inches) with a large floppy hood that produces its best pitchers in early season. We looking forward to range of hood formation on this cross.
