Sarracenia 'Juthatip Soper'

Description

Created by Matthew Soper in 1997, Sarracenia 'Juthatip Soper' is an attractive carnivorous plant with characteristic upright pitchers that are initially soft-pink, delicately veined with wine purple. The hood is broad, wavy and almost vertical, and as the pitchers darken to red-purple, the contrast between the colours becomes more striking.

This Sarracenia has the parentage (Sarracenia leucophylla x Sarracenia purpurea) X Sarracenia leucophylla Pink, which explains its bright colouration. In 2012 it was awarded the RHS Award of Garden Merit which makes 'Juthatip Soper' an ideal candidate to thrive in an outdoor bog garden.

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.
