Sarracenia flava var. flava 'Maxima'

Description of Sarracenia flava var. flava 'Maxima'

The pitchers of this impressive Sarracenia flava var. flava are well-formed and large, usually about 75cm tall or sometimes more. The upper part of the pitcher and the lid are golden-green, the lid being semi-circular in shape and lightly veined and blotched with maroon within.

This is a vigorous Sarracenia flava that renowned carnivorous plant grower Adrian Slack selected, hence, it is also often referred to as 'Slack's Maxima'. It's important not to confuse this plant with the similarly named Sarracenia flava var. maxima which is a different variety.
