Sarracenia rubra jonesii x The Kraken (SG)
Sarracenia rubra jonesii has moderately thin pitchers that are heavily veined and about a foot tall. We chose this species to hybridize with The Kraken since The Kraken has some rubra parentage. We were interested in what the results would be. Overall, we are very pleased! Lots of variation in color and shape.
