Sarracenia Reptilian Rose x leucophylla Purple Lips (*NEW)
This plant originated from a seed batch bred by Phil Faulisi, a well-respected Sarracenia breeder, so many different forms of this hybrid have been circulating in cultivation. The clone we offer here has dark red veins against a white background, dark red lips, a dark red interior, and a green pitcher. The plant also has an interesting protrusion on its lip, which makes it unique among its siblings. Bold and charismatic are two words we would use to describe this hybrid!
