Sarracenia × excellens X leucophylla MK-H94

Description

This is a lovely-looking little Sarracenia hybrid. Although at first glance it appears to be a pretty Sarracenia leucophylla, one of the parents is a Sarracenia × excellens meaning that one of the grandparents is a Sarracenia minor. The S. minor adds a very subtle difference to the plant's shape.

The colouration is crisp with good definition between deep red and snow white towards the top of the pitcher and over the lid. We would argue that this Sarracenia is far prettier than many deemed worthy of having a registered name, you won't be disappointed!

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.
