Plant Description

Formally known as Sarracenia 'Barbapapa', this is the first Sarracenia to join the Sarracenia House collection! Some say it's the one that started it all!

Sarracenia 'Barba' is clearly a hybrid that contains Sarracenia purpurea but we cannot determine the exact parentage. Possibly something like (S. flava X S. purpurea) X S. purpurea, but that's just an educated guess.

The colours and veination are quite striking as the pitchers transition from green to red. This is a lovely plant if you want something that doesn't grow too tall and is an excellent addition to an outdoors bog garden as well.

Plant photos above are of our Sarracenia 'Barba' mother plants. Divisions are taken from the mother plants and are planted into 9cm pots to be sold. Division sizes can vary greatly and will always be sent largest first. If you'd like to know the size of a plant before ordering, please feel free to contact us.

Basic Sarracenia Care

Sarracenia 'Barba' is easy to care for, given the correct conditions. An unheated greenhouse is an ideal location. Here are the 3 golden rules for healthy Sarracenia pitcher plants.

  1. Provide as much sun as possible.
  2. Keep their pots sat in 1-2cm of rainwater.
  3. Use acidic soil. A 1:1 peat moss & perlite mix is typical.
