Sarracenia 'Hummer's Hammerhead'

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.
