Sarracenia Lorax

This plant has numerous white spots on the upper parts of the pitcher. They appear on the front underneath the lip and extend around to the back. The hood showcases an elegant pattern of red veins and frilled edges. A mature plant will develop a large rhizome that can be easily divided. Pitchers also last throughout winter.

The plant was named after a beloved friend, Margaret Eng. She worked at the Outdoor School in Portland, Oregon, and was a strong advocate for introducing the natural sciences to schoolchildren. Hundreds of kids knew her as "Lorax." We were lucky to have known a gentle yet passionate soul, so we named this plant after her Outdoor School nickname.

ABOUT MATURE DIVISIONS
After we divide our mother plants, we allow the rhizomes to mature for at least one full growing season, sometimes two, before including them in our inventory. You get a much more vigorous and robust plant than one that has been recently divided.
