Description

This bright little Sarracenia is the anthocyanin-free form of Sarracenia rubra subsp. gulfensis. This means that it contains no red pigmentation, making it stand out as an all-green plant.

This plant is seedgrown from 2013, most likely a Sarracenia rubra subsp. gulfensis f. luteoviridis (Yellow River, Okaloosa Co., Florida) X SELF cross.

I find that rubras are not as robust as other larger Sarracenia so they fair better in an unheated greenhouse rather than being exposed to the elements in the garden.

Plant Size On Offer

Plant photos are usually of the mother plant, not the smaller divisions offered for sale.

Divisions taken from mother plants are planted into 9cm pots. The size of divisions 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 get in touch.

Basic Care

Sarracenia plants are incredibly easy to care for, given the right conditions. An unheated greenhouse is an ideal location for Sarracenia, they can be grown outside in the UK but a greenhouse provides a longer growing season. Here are the 3 golden rules for healthy Sarracenia.

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 but you can also research peat-free alternatives.
