Cute purple pitchers!
VERY happy with my plant. It lives in a teacup til I can finish a pond sort of area on my back screen porch. Love to see the little black flies floating in the leaves. Well fed!

great job
both of my Sarracenia purpurea venosa came in perfectly. the amount of care taken during packaging is very evident. they both have healthy looking pitchers, and they still have just enough green in them to look like it has veins. absolutely beautiful. thank you very much.

Great Product and service
At first, I was skeptical about purchasing a plant, let alone a carnivorous plant, online, due to the massive amount of things that could go wrong with shipping, etc... However, these were packed perfectly, with ample room and protection. I was also worried about ensuring that they survived after receipt, however, they sent an abundance of information on care and handling to ensure survival and made it clear that if ANYTHING, to contact them via phone immediately to get assistance from their specialists. This is one of those situations in which you get what you pay for. Yes, you could go to a local shop and get a plant that is not near maturation and was probably mishandled prior to purchase, or you could spend a little extra and use these guys to ensure you are getting a mature, quality and healthy plant that has been taken care of properly, and have access to the assistance post-purchase. I will be making ALL my carnivorous plant purchases from Sarracenia Northwest from now on.
