Sarracenia Simone
This hybrid is probably the most exotic Sarracenia in our collection. It has velvety olive-green pitchers, a flared ruffled hood with a deep red interior, and dark lips. These are features we rarely see often among Sarracenia hybrids. The hybrid was bred by Jerry Addington of Courting Frogs and produces its best pitchers in August and September. This plant grows very slowly and is best for the patient gardener who can give it lots of direct sunlight and a long growing season.
