Plant Description

Looking for a Sarracenia that's as cunning as a fox who's just been appointed Professor of Cunning at Oxford University? You've come to the right place. Sadly, I doubt this lovely plant has anything to do with Edmund Blackadder but rather the stunning dark tones produced by its carnivorous pitchers.

This is a great-looking Sarracenia. Although not a monster in size it does produce nice-sized chunky pitchers. But the real beauty of Sarracenia 'Blackadder' comes from its deep purple colours.

I believe this plant originated from the European plant nursery Euroflora.

Basic Sarracenia Care

Sarracenia 'Blackadder' 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.
