Sarracenia Syrinx (*NEW)
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.
*Newly introduced to our inventory in 2024.
Type of Plant: Outdoor perennial for container growing.
Height: Up to 12 inches.
Sunlight: Full sun during the growing season.
Water: Low-mineral water (50 ppm or less).

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.
