Plant Description

Although it has the appearance of a robust Sarracenia leucophylla, Sarracenia 'Giant Cotton' is actually a striking hybrid between Sarracenia leucophylla 'Cronus' and a red Sarracenia × moorei. The cultivar was grown from seeds obtained from French grower Cédric Azais in 2011 and later selected by Oliver Bres in 2016 for its exceptional characteristics.

This vigorous plant produces two distinct types of pitchers depending on the season. In spring, the pitchers reach up to 70 cm in height, displaying subtle red pigmentation at their tops. By contrast, the autumn pitchers are towering, reaching an impressive 90 cm, with a brilliant white colouration and remarkable structural strength. The hood remains relatively narrow compared to the plant’s overall size. The dramatic differences between the spring and autumn forms are so pronounced that they could easily be mistaken for different plants. Fast-growing and visually captivating, 'Giant Cotton' was named for its towering autumn pitchers and their striking cotton-white appearance, making it a standout in any Sarracenia plant collection.

Division sizes can vary greatly and will always be sent largest first. If you'd like to know the size of a plant before ordering, please feel free to contact us.

Basic Sarracenia Care

Sarracenia 'Giant Cotton' is easy to care for, given the correct conditions. An unheated greenhouse is an ideal location. Here are the 3 golden rules for healthy Sarracenia pitcher plants.

  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.
