Description of Sarracenia 'Liquorice Lips'

Sarracenia 'Liquorice Lips' is a rare and distinct cultivar, highly prized by collectors. Its origins trace back to a batch of seedlings at PJ Plants. The specific plant that became 'Liquorice Lips' was selected and grown on by Ian Salter, from whom all current divisions originate.

This pitcher plant is notably compact, reaching a mature height of only 35 to 45 centimetres. Its form consists of upright pitchers topped with elegant, overarching hoods. The colouration is its most striking feature. The tubes and hoods display a deep, glowing, deep red-purple hue.

The lip, or peristome, and the interior of the pitcher are an intense, near-black purple. This dramatic dark lip gives the plant its 'Liquorice Lips' name. The contrast between the mahogany body and the dark lip is exceptional. This combination makes it a standout specimen in any Sarracenia collection.

Plant photos above are of our Sarracenia 'Liquorice Lips' mother plants. Divisions are taken from the mother plants and are planted into 9cm pots to be sold. 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.

Basic Sarracenia Care

Sarracenia 'Liquorice Lips' is easy to care for, given the correct conditions. An unheated greenhouse is an ideal location. Here are the 3 golden rules for healthy Sarracenia pitcher plants.

  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.

This is my second purchase and I am delighted. The plants were dispatched swiftly, were packed impeccably and arrived in perfect condition. The addition of a lovely hand written note from Gary about how beautiful these particular varieties will be in late summer was a lovely touch. You guys are great! Can’t wait for these two plants to fully establish ready to consume the irritating flies that get trapped in my kitchen ever summer!

Fantastic choice, knowledge and customer service.

I contacted them for advice and the customer service and knowledge was fantastic, including speed of postage. As delivery was required quickly they went above and beyond posting out the same day. I will definitely use them again next time. It’s great to be able to see what plant you will be receiving especially when it is a gift. Thank you!
