Sarracenia 'Johnny Marr'

Description of Sarracenia 'Johnny Marr'

Sarracenia 'Johnny Marr' is a good-looking hybrid created in 1999 by crossing a Sarracenia × catesbaei (Sarracenia flava var. cuprea X Sarracenia purpurea subsp. venosa) with another S. flava var. cuprea. This cultivar produces robust, upright pitchers reaching around 60 cm in height, featuring a wide, open mouth (5–7 cm across) and a gracefully undulating hood spanning approximately 12 cm.

The spring pitchers are particularly striking, with the upper two-thirds glowing in a brilliant copper hue, a vivid display that makes it a standout in any collection. As summer progresses, the pitchers transform into a deep burgundy-purple, accentuated by near-black veining.

The plant also bears elegant, pale pink flowers measuring about 10 cm in diameter. Named in honour of the legendary guitarist at the 2010 RHS Flower Show in Tatton Park by Matthew Soper.
