Plant Description

Created over 40 years ago, Sarracenia leucophylla 'Cronus' was made by crossing plants from Seminole County, Florida and Baldwin County, Alabama. The purpose was to create an S. leucophylla with increased vigour, by creating offspring with strengths from both parental localities. And it worked because S. leucophylla 'Cronus' is a titan of a plant!

The autumn pitchers of Sarracenia leucophylla 'Cronus' can grow to nearly a metre tall with a mouth that is typically 6-9 cm across. The upper pitcher is distinguished by its deep red veins dividing a white background. The mouth's rim is white with reddish marbling. The plant has a large angled lid. While the pitchers are very striking, the flowers are similar to wild forms.

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.
