Sarracenia 'Iamsatyricon'

Description

A stunning Sarracenia hybrid, arguably one of the best created and certainly one of our favourites!

Sarracenia 'Iamsatyricon' was grown from seed in 2010 by Marco Pezzilli (seed from Andrea Amici) using the parents Sarracenia × moorei 'Leah Wilkerson' and Sarracenia leucophylla MK-L7.

The leucophylla is a pubescent form and that 'fuzziness' has been passed on. Its overall appearance is that of a very clean, bright Sarracenia leucophylla, but, the contrast between the green, white and red is very defined due to the very crisp white shade on the upper part of the pitcher.

Named in memoriam of Marco Pezzilli who sadly passed away a couple of years before Andrea Amici registered this exceptional cultivar in 2017.

Basic Care

Sarracenia plants are incredibly easy to care for, given the correct conditions. An unheated greenhouse is an ideal location for Sarracenia, they can be grown outside in the UK but a greenhouse provides a longer growing season. Here are the 3 golden rules for healthy Sarracenia.

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 but you can also research peat-free alternatives.
