Description of Sarracenia 'Sky Watcher'

Sarracenia 'Sky Watcher' is a selected clone believed to originate from the complex hybrid Sarracenia umlauftiana. Its parentage combines S. courtii and S. wrigleyana, and is therefore a mix of Sarracenia purpurea, psittacina, and leucophylla species.

This cultivar grows in a rosette form, staying lower to the ground than many other pitcher plants. A mature plant reaches about a foot tall. Its growth is notably wide, giving it a substantial presence.

The 'Sky Watcher' produces unusual pitchers. They form like cobra hoods that flare upwards. This hood displays a white background covered in a dense network of thick red veins.

It offers its best and most eye-catching pitchers in the late growing season. The plant's unique structure and vivid colouration make it a distinct variety for collections.
