Description of Sarracenia × moorei - Red, Very Large IP-X95
Sarracenia × moorei Red, Very Large IP-X95 is a selected Sarracenia × moorei, a cross between Sarracenia flava and Sarracenia leucophylla. As its descriptive name suggests, IP-X95 was selected for its impressive size and strong red colour. Mature plants produce tall, upright pitchers with a particularly well-developed upper section.
The pitchers are long and slender at the base, gradually widening towards a broad mouth. The lower tube begins yellow-green, crossed by fine red veins. These veins become progressively denser towards the top, where the influence of Sarracenia leucophylla becomes much clearer.
The upper tube develops numerous pale cream to white colours surrounded by a dense network of burgundy-red veins. This pattern continues inside the pitcher and around the mouth. The lip develops a solid red to burgundy colour, creating a clear border between the patterned tube and the open throat.
The lid is large, broad and strongly waved along its margins. As the pitcher matures in good light, the red pigmentation can spread across the neck and parts of the lid, producing a rich mixture of white, crimson and dark burgundy. The throat itself can become particularly dark.
Size is an important characteristic of IP-X95. Established plants can produce very tall pitchers while retaining a broad, well-proportioned lid and mouth.
