Plant Description

Sarracenia × moorei 'Praetorian Guard' is a stunning, all-red Sarracenia × moorei produced by the Sarracenia national collection holder Mike King in Shropshire, UK.

The parents of 'Praetorian Guard' are Sarracenia leucophylla Large Pink-lipped, Apalachicola National Forest (L18) and Sarracenia flava var. atropurpurea All red form, Blackwater River State Forest, FL (F27a).

This × moorei seems to carry the robustness of Sarracenia flava but with details from Sarracenia leucophylla such as hood shape. Given good light, this plant develops a deep-red colour that almost becomes purple at its darkest.
