This hybrid grows vigorously at our nursery. It has stout pitchers that flares open; its hood sports a bronze hue. Because of its parentage, it's an early season plant that will be one of the first Sarracenia with open pitchers at the start of the growing season. Overall, it's a robust, beefy plant.

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.

S. Oreophila x flava cuprea
This plant was much bigger than I expected it to be, and immediately started putting in work eating bugs. It was packaged and shipped very well. Such a beautiful sarracenia! Highly recommend!
