Dessert has been served! The late-season pitchers of Ruby Throat will remind you of a scrumptious strawberry sundae. The upper portions of the pitcher are a perfect balance of bright red veins over a pure white complexion. The throat of the lid is dark red, and the color extends into the rim of the pitcher and into the underside of the hood. The exterior of the lid is white with very fine red veins. However, this plant is a late-season variety, meaning its show-stopping pitchers are only on display when the heat of summer mellows. What a delicious way to end the growing season!

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.
