Sarracenia Syrinx (*NEW)
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.
This plant is one of our complex hybrids featuring the sweet pitcher, S. rubra. We named it after a mythical Greek nymph who hunted with a bow and arrow amongst the river reeds. It has slender pitchers with red veins and a red lip. It also uses a much different type of hunting technique than the nymph of lore. Overall, it's a very prolific plant, much like river reeds.
