Description of Sarracenia × moorei (Milton County, Florida) PZ10 G4 H406 MS

Sarracenia × moorei H406 is a selected Gulf Coast form raised from seed originating near Milton, Florida. As a Sarracenia × moorei, it represents the natural combination of Sarracenia flava and Sarracenia leucophylla, both of which occur in the Florida Panhandle. This H406 was selected for its clean lime-green pitchers and contrasting dark throat.

The pitchers are tall and upright, with a long tube that gradually widens into a broad, open mouth. Much of the pitcher remains a fresh lime green, with relatively little red pigmentation across the lower tube. Fine pale areoles become more obvious towards the upper section, giving the surface a lightly mottled appearance.

The main area of colour sits directly beneath the lid. A concentrated dark red to burgundy throat patch develops across the neck and extends down towards the mouth. Its irregular edges stand out clearly against the surrounding lime-green tissue. This concentrated marking gives the plant some of the throat character associated with Sarracenia flava while leaving most of the pitcher comparatively uncluttered.

The lid is broad and slightly waved, showing more obvious Sarracenia leucophylla influence. Pale translucent areoles spread across a green background, particularly towards the margins. Mature lids can become considerably lighter than the tube while retaining green veins and a narrow reddish edge.

H406 also produces the large yellow flowers expected from a hybrid with strong Sarracenia flava influence.

FAQs

Can I grow Sarracenia outdoors in the UK?

Yes, most Sarracenia species are fully frost-tolerant and can live outside all year round in UK gardens, bog gardens, or patio pots. Species such as leucophylla and psittacina can be more sensitive and usually fare better in an unheated greenhouse.

How do I water Sarracenia?
  • March–October: Stand the plant pot in a saucer or tray containing 1 to 3 cm of rainwater (or more when the weather's really warm). The soil should never be allowed to dry out.
  • November–February: Keep the soil just damp, reducing the standing water significantly while they rest.
Can I use tapwater for Sarracenia?

No, unless you live in a very soft water area (<50ppm) do not use tapwater. Regular tap water contains minerals, lime, and chlorine that burn and kill the roots over time.
Always use collected rainwater, distilled water, or reverse-osmosis (RO) water.

Do Sarracenia need winter dormancy?

Yes, Sarracenia need a cold winter rest period (roughly from Halloween to Valentine's Day) with lower temperatures (unheated greenhouses, cold frames, or bright sheds). Their old pitchers will turn brown and die back; this is completely natural. Trim away dead growth in late winter to prevent mould (botrytis).

What kind of soil should I use for Sarracenia?

Use a specialist peat-free or low-nutrient carnivorous plant compost, typically mixed with perlite or equivalent for drainage. Never use standard multi-purpose garden compost, which contains too many nutrients.
