Description of Sarracenia 'Pink Thing'

Sarracenia 'Pink Thing' is a distinctive and beautiful hybrid pitcher plant. Its exact parentage remains unknown, but it strongly resembles a Sarracenia leucophylla with a unique structural twist.

The plant's most notable feature is its large, floppy hood. This hood curves dramatically over the trap opening, creating a graceful, overhanging lid. This form distinguishes it from many other upright trumpet-shaped Sarracenia.

Its colouration develops superbly throughout the year. The pitcher body and hood display a delicate pink hue. This colour becomes very colourful and intense during the autumn months, creating a superb display.

'Pink Thing' produces pitchers that are both elegant and functional. The pink venation patterns against a lighter background help attract insect prey into its specialised traps. This hybrid is a standout selection for any carnivorous plant collection due to its form and autumn colour.

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.

Sarracenia 'Pink Thing' 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.
