Description of Sarracenia 'Hummer's Hammerhead'

Created in 1992 by John Hummer, this hybrid is one of the most instantly recognisable Sarracenia around. The name Sarracenia 'Hummer's Hammerhead' refers to both the creator and the distinctive hammer-like shape of the pitchers.

Sarracenia 'Hummer's Hammerhead', the result of the cross between Sarracenia (psittacina x alabamensis) and Sarracenia alabamensis, is a vigorous grower! The plant itself is generally compact, with pitchers typically measuring 10-20 cm (4-8 inches) in length. Its deep red flower petals in Spring create a captivating contrast with the vibrant golden pitcher leaves. 

Plant photos above are of our Sarracenia 'Hummer's Hammerhead' mother plants. Divisions are taken from the mother plants and are planted into 9cm pots to be sold. 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 'Hummer's Hammerhead' 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.

This is my second purchase and I am delighted. The plants were dispatched swiftly, were packed impeccably and arrived in perfect condition. The addition of a lovely hand written note from Gary about how beautiful these particular varieties will be in late summer was a lovely touch. You guys are great! Can’t wait for these two plants to fully establish ready to consume the irritating flies that get trapped in my kitchen ever summer!

Fantastic choice, knowledge and customer service.

I contacted them for advice and the customer service and knowledge was fantastic, including speed of postage. As delivery was required quickly they went above and beyond posting out the same day. I will definitely use them again next time. It’s great to be able to see what plant you will be receiving especially when it is a gift. Thank you!
