Plants from this area are known for stable colour and clean form. This clone shows the classic cuprea trait. The lid develops a warm copper tone as it matures, sitting over a greener tube.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePitchers grow tall and upright with a straight profile. The tube is narrow at the base and widens slightly towards the mouth. Veining runs vertically and stays fine, adding detail without overpowering the main colour. The throat patch is present but not heavy, giving a softer transition between tube and lid.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe lid is the main point of interest. Early growth starts yellow-green, then shifts to a metallic copper as the pitcher hardens. In strong light, this colour deepens and can show a slight red tint along the veins. The surface often has a smooth, even finish, which helps the copper tone stand out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpring pitchers carry the best colour. Later growth can be a little greener but still holds the copper influence. When grown in full sun, the contrast between the lid and tube stays clear across the season. Lower light reduces the copper effect, leaving a more muted top.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Shallotte clone is a good example of \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/sarracenia-flava-var-cuprea\" title=\"Sarracenia flava var. cuprea\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eSarracenia flava\u003c\/em\u003e var. \u003cem\u003ecuprea\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e from this region.
