Sarracenia Sweet Excellence
$29.95
Sweet Excellence bears masses of eye-catching foliage on rapidly-dividing growth points. We enjoy this trait of density because it rewards the grower with size, vigor, and new dimensions to the plant each season. The dense masses of leaves are primarily maroon-purple in the upper portions, upright, and slightly cowled at the lid. White speckling throughout the upper portions gets exceptionally conspicuous on older plants. On late-season leaves, the red hues exaggerate to a spectacular black-purple, contrasting fabulously with the white splotching. Copious nectar about the triangular mouth is exuded in such quantity that it can crystallize into little sugary beads! Look for its best pitchers in mid to late summer.

Excellent experience
I have been totally impressed with how the plants were shipped, the quality of the plants when they arrived, and the information available on the website for novice carnivorous plant growers. I am successfully growing pitcher plants in my home which I thought I would never be able to do. Thank so much!

Excellent Purchase
I recently purchased a Sarracenia x Sweet Excellence. I'm happy to say, not only did it arrive promptly and in excellent shape, it's also growing rapidly and capturing lots of insects.

Another one that .....one is not enough
After this Sarracenia arrived in such a nice cluster and grouping..... I reordered them again. If you ever look for a great deal...this is it. I never received such a cluster of plants at this price from any of the dealers that I had done business in the past. SNW is number # ONE for me.
