Sarracenia flava var. cuprea 'Lilian Cooper'

Description

Introducing Sarracenia flava var. cuprea 'Lilian Cooper', a unique plant that boasts a veinless appearance, making it stand out from other varieties of Sarracenia flava. Grown from seeds sourced from a Green Swamp, North Carolina plant, this particular Sarracenia has a green and clean throat similar to Sarracenia var. maxima but with an exquisite pinky bronzey lid that develops beautifully over time.

This plant is named after Nigel Hewitt-Cooper's mother, making it an exceptional addition to any plant collection. Definitely one of our favourite cupreas!

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.
