Description of Sarracenia purpurea subsp. venosa var. burkii ‘Chipola Giant’ Dr. Eberhard König (Chipola River, Florida) MK-PV55

One of the giants! The 'Chipola Giant' Sarracenia purpurea subsp venosa var. burkii (or Sarracenia rosea if you prefer) clones are real show-stoppers.

Famed for their enormous, bulbous pitchers Chipola Giants really stand out amongst the other Sarracenia purpurea. This clone is an old one from the collection of famous German grower Dr. Eberhard König from near Überlingen on Lake Constance.

There are several clones of 'Chipola Giant' which, unsurprisingly, were named as such due to their size and natural location of the Chipola River system in Florida. Still rare amongst collectors, this plant is one to grab when available.
