Sarracenia 'Dana's Delight'

Description

From the 1990's came a beautiful Sarracenia leucophylla hybrid (Sarracenia leucophylla x Sarracenia x willisii) created by Mark Edwards of New Zealand, who named the plant after his daughter, Daina. It appears that the plant's name has got confused over the years and can be offered as 'Dana's Delight' or 'Daina's Delight'!

At first glance this plant looks like a hot pink leucophylla, and to be fair, it does look exactly like that despite the complex hybrid parent Sarracenia x willisii. A lovely, attention-grabbing plant!

Basic Care

Sarracenia plants are incredibly easy to care for, given the correct conditions. An unheated greenhouse is an ideal location for Sarracenia, they can be grown outside in the UK but a greenhouse provides a longer growing season. Here are the 3 golden rules for healthy Sarracenia.

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 but you can also research peat-free alternatives.
