This hybrid is a sister of Mountain Splendor (Sarracenia oreophila x rubra jonesii). In spring, pitchers often reach 18 inches, taller and greener than its sisters. Its flowers are also yellow, whereas its sister, Mountain Splendor, has peach flowers. Mountain Meadow is an early-season plant that produces its tallest 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, approximately 8-10 inches, much shorter than the first. 

PLANT YOU RECEIVE
• Mature division from select mother plants.
• Shipped potted in a 4-inch pot.
• Care instructions and our 30-day guarantee are included.

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.
