Sarracenia Barry
$29.95
'Mardi Gras' is an example of how fantastically ornamental Sarracenia can be bred. Its defining feature is the outrageously ruffled hood, with prominent purple-red veins against a golden-yellow background - it's more like a fashionable 1920s ball gown than a bug-eating plant! The monstrous lid overhangs an understated mouth. Pitcher tubes are of medium height and curve upward from the crown. 'Mardi Gras' produces its best pitchers of the season in mid to late summer and early fall.

Sunlight: Full sun during the growing season.

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.

• April: Spring growth will appear by the end of the month.
• May: Fully developed pitchers will gradually appear.
• June-August: Full display of pitchers.
• September: Plant produces its best pitchers of the season.
• October: Dormancy begins. Fewer pitchers. No new growth until spring.
• November-December: Plant is dormant. Browned pitchers are cut off.

Sarracenia X Mardi Gras
My plant arrived emerging from dormancy, but it is in excellent shape. The packaging like always was extremely cushioned and well secured, keeping the damage and shock of shipping to the minimum, and preserving the plants new growth. A few weeks after introducing to my garden it is flourishing and starting to show its true color and flare as new pitchers are continuing to emerge! I love this plant! It was an excellent choice and great addition.
