Sarracenia Reptilian Rose
$69.95
Reptilian Rose is one of those rare Sarracenia that change colors with the seasons. In early spring, its pitchers are pink. As summer progresses, they turn deep red. The plant is best known for its pouty lip and fanciful hood. Look for its best pitchers in early and mid-summer. Phil Faulisi bred the plant, and it was registered with the International Carnivorous Plant Society in 2009. Overall, this is a must-have for serious Sarracenia collectors.

ABOUT MATURE DIVISIONS
After we divide our mother plants, we allow the rhizomes to mature for at least one full growing season, sometimes two, before including them in our inventory. You get a much more vigorous and robust plant than one that has been recently divided.
