Sarracenia psittacina x purpurea
This is one of our favorite hybrids. The hybrid was made with the northern form of S. purpurea, which has much thicker leaves than the southern form. So, the leaves of this hybrid are quite thick and lasts for more than a growing season, which means they will last through winter!
