2nd Season Divisions
After dividing our mother plants in spring, we grow the divisions for a year before releasing them. You get a more vigorous plant with a healthier root system when compared to a recent division.
All outdoor perennials experience seasonal changes at our nursery in Oregon.
• January-March: Plant is dormant with no pitchers.
• April: Spring growth will appear by the end of the month.
• May: Fully developed pitchers will gradually appear.
• June-August: Full display of pitchers.
• September: Plant produces its best pitchers of the season.
• October: Dormancy begins. Fewer pitchers. No new growth until spring.
• November-December: Plant is dormant. Browned pitchers are cut off.
Scarlet Belle is a cultivated variety of a simple hybrid, Sarracenia leucophylla x psittacina. It develops beautiful red pitchers speckled with white spots. Whenever people see this plant in person, they usually exclaim, "They look like they're from outer space!" If you want a really unusual plant for your garden, give this one a try. Look for it's best pitchers of the season in late summer and early fall.
