It represents a larger-growing venosa, with an emphasis on size, colour saturation, and heavier pitcher structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe plant forms a broad, spreading rosette of pitchers that sit low to the substrate. Compared to typical \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/sarracenia-purpurea-subsp-venosa\" title=\"Sarracenia purpurea subsp. venosa\"\u003e\u003ci\u003eSarracenia purpurea\u003c\/i\u003e subsp. \u003ci\u003evenosa\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e forms, the traps are noticeably larger and more inflated, with a thicker build. The tube is wide and curved, holding a substantial volume of rainwater, which is characteristic of Sarracenia purpurea types.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eColouration develops strongly as the pitchers mature. Early growth often starts green with light veining, but this quickly deepens into red and maroon tones across the surface. In well-grown specimens, the pitchers can become heavily suffused with red, while still retaining a visible network of darker veins beneath.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe lid is broad and reflexed, sitting back from the opening rather than covering it. It shows a mix of green, red, and deeper tones, often with a mottled or layered appearance. The rim is thick and rounded, blending into the body of the pitcher without a sharp edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe flowers are typical of venosa, borne on short scapes in spring but showing a deeper red colour.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sarracenia House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49293335265560,"sku":"SHSPV013","price":49.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0671\/2075\/9064\/files\/659634A6-6BE2-4368-A1C7-F9DC618F2073.jpg?v=1747681069","url":"https:\/\/sarracenia.house\/products\/sarracenia-purpurea-subsp-venosa-gigantea-shspv013","provider":"Sarracenia House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
