• April: Spring growth will appear by the end of the month.
• May: Fully developed pitchers will start to appear.
• June: Full display of pitchers. This plant will look its best!
• July-August: Plant will slow down when it’s hot. Some minor spotting.
• September-October: Dormancy begins. Fewer pitchers. No new growth until spring.
• November-December: Plant is dormant. Browned pitchers are cut off.
This is batch of seedlings were bred from two prized Sarracenia leucophylla cultivars, Schnell's Ghost and Hurricane Creek White (clone F). Both of these mother plants are known for their ruffled white hoods with thin green veins. In September, their late season pitchers are almost pure white with very little veining. This cross should produce some very nice pitchers in the years to come.
