Sarracenia flava var. rubricorpora

$25.00

This is one of my favourite varieties of North American pitcher plant! The yellow-coloured hood and peristome contrasting with the dark red tube and veins is hard to beat. Like all Sarracenia its able attract and catch all sorts of insects into its pitcher. This is a naturally occurring variety which is quite rare in its natural habitat. This plant also features in my video (see below) displaying how insects behave when fighting over precious nectar.

Features:

  • The lid of the pitcher turns yellow with contrasting red veins and pitcher.
