(H 48) A rather nice Adrian Slack original hybrid. A gorgeous plant with huge, very prominent hoods veined with deep purple. The inside of the hood changes to deep red with age and the top of the pitcher goes black - a stunning combination. Flowers are borne in early April. Like all Sarracenias they need to stand in 2.5cm (1") of soft (rain) water in acidic nutrient-less soil in full sun for good growth. They are efficient fly and wasp catchers both indoors and out. Good as container plants. Keep well hydrated spring to autumn but keep just damp in winter. Needs a cold winter dormancy for long term plant health. Good flycatchers for a sunny window sill. This plant is divided to order, the plant you receive will be a large division bare rooted.
