Sarracenia Mountain Meadow
$19.95
This hybrid is a sister of Appalachian Spring and Mountain Splendor (Sarracenia oreophila x rubra jonesii). Pitchers on an adult plant typically reach 18 inches, taller and greener than its sisters. In spring, Mountain Meadow produces yellow flowers, whereas her sisters produce red (Appalachian Spring) and peach (Mountain Splendor) flowers. Mountain Meadow is an early season plant, producing its best pitchers in early summer. In mid summer, the plant will cease pitcher production. When the summer heat subsides, it will send up another set of pitchers that are stouter than the first.

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: 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.
