A Sarracenia with orange flowers! Rare amongst North American pitcher plants, the fiery-orange flowers of Siskiyou Autumn appear in early to mid spring, dropping their petals by June. Pitchers are neon yellow and very tall, borne in dense clusters on narrow rhizomes that frequently divide. Traps are capped with oversized, undulating lids held at an upright angle. The yellow complexion of the leaves eventually turns ruddy orange by late summer and fall. Pitchers on an adult plant will reach 12-16 inches and often last into early winter. Its best growth occurs in mid to late summer.

Sunlight: Full sun during the growing season.

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.
I received 4 of these in Nov in Portland, OR, in great condition. I put them out on our deck in the middle of a heavy rainstorm. In between the rain, I went out to look at them- a yellow jacket was hovering by one of the openings, it landed, fell in, and tried to climb out unsuccessfully. Really cool to see- they must have an odor to attract them.
It seemed to suffer very little from shipping. Very pleased.
Fantastic shipping packing!!
Received with pitchers in the teens", one month on with four new pitchers the tallest 13". Amazed how house flies are addicted to this plant. This is the sixth plant ordered and now need a wish list page for more.
Plants arrive fast and well packaged. I have had great luck with everything I've purchased.
Arrived in excellent condition!!! It's gotten even bigger since I've put it outside...thinking of what to order next!!!
Growing well
