    They had me in the first half

    When my pitcher plant arrived I had failed to read the fine print that they cut back the old growth right after winter so I thought I had been sent a dead plant. But after reading the info provided and taking care of it for a while I now have a few beautiful pitchers! Love it! Will be ordering again in the future!

    A beauty!

    Received my Sarracenia purpurea venosa in perfect condition a few weeks ago. It was strong and healthy, and is doing even better now. One brand new pitcher is almost fully grown, and another new One is starting to push out. Many thanks to you fine people!
