Description of Sarracenia flava var. rubricorpora (Apalachicola National Forest, Florida) F25

Sarracenia flava var. rubricorpora F25 (Apalachicola National Forest, Florida) is a selected red tube form from one of the most famous Sarracenia regions in the Florida Panhandle. Plants from this area are known for their strong pigmentation, and F25 is an excellent example of the rubricorpora form, combining height, colour, and a well-defined throat patch.

Pitchers are tall, upright, and elegant, with the classic proportions expected of Sarracenia flava. Early growth often emerges with a greener appearance, but as the pitchers mature, the tube gradually develops deeper pigmentation. Established plants can produce rich plum-red pitchers that extend almost the full length of the tube, creating a bold contrast with the lighter upper portions.

One of the defining features of this clone is the relationship between the tube and the lid. While the pitcher body develops strong red colouration, the lid remains yellow-green to lime-green with fine red veining. This creates a striking contrast that immediately draws attention to the upper part of the trap. Beneath the lid sits a large, dark red throat patch that spreads down into the column, forming a dramatic focal point.

The lid itself is broad and slightly undulating along the margins. In strong light, the veining becomes more pronounced while the background colour remains bright. The combination of a green lid, dark throat, and red tube gives the plant a distinctive appearance throughout the growing season.

As the plant matures and settles into a pot, the colour develops more fully with each passing season. F25 is a great-looking plant!

FAQs

How tall do Sarracenia flava get?

Sarracenia flava typically grows 45cm to 90cm feet tall. This varies dependant on the specific plant, growing conditions and seasonal variations.

Can I grow Sarracenia outdoors in the UK?

Yes, most Sarracenia species are fully frost-tolerant and can live outside all year round in UK gardens, bog gardens, or patio pots. Species such as leucophylla and psittacina can be more sensitive and usually fare better in an unheated greenhouse.

How do I water Sarracenia?
  • March–October: Stand the plant pot in a saucer or tray containing 1 to 3 cm of rainwater (or more when the weather's really warm). The soil should never be allowed to dry out.
  • November–February: Keep the soil just damp, reducing the standing water significantly while they rest.
Can I use tapwater for Sarracenia?

No, unless you live in a very soft water area (<50ppm) do not use tapwater. Regular tap water contains minerals, lime, and chlorine that burn and kill the roots over time.
Always use collected rainwater, distilled water, or reverse-osmosis (RO) water.

Do Sarracenia need winter dormancy?

Yes, Sarracenia need a cold winter rest period (roughly from Halloween to Valentine's Day) with lower temperatures (unheated greenhouses, cold frames, or bright sheds). Their old pitchers will turn brown and die back; this is completely natural. Trim away dead growth in late winter to prevent mould (botrytis).

What kind of soil should I use for Sarracenia?

Use a specialist peat-free or low-nutrient carnivorous plant compost, typically mixed with perlite or equivalent for drainage. Never use standard multi-purpose garden compost, which contains too many nutrients.
