Sarracenia × moorei 'Big Mouth' (Santa Rosa County, Florida)

Description of Sarracenia × moorei 'Big Mouth' (Santa Rosa County, Florida)

Sarracenia × mooreiSarracenia × moorei ‘Big Mouth’ from Santa Rosa County, Florida, is a tall plant with pitchers that often reach 70 to 80 cm. The name fits. The plant forms a wide, open mouth that looks oversized compared to many other moorei. The hood flares out, and the lip shows a clear curve when the pitchers mature. You can usually see a mix of green and soft red tones around the throat, especially in strong sunlight.

It pushes up large pitchers through the season. The shape stays consistent, even on younger plants. I’ve grown many moorei forms from Florida, and this is easily one of the most distinctive. The mouth stays broad, and the tube has a clean, smooth profile without much waviness.

It handles full sun well and colours up more when the weather warms. The pitchers stay firm, and the flare of the hood helps keep rain out. If you’re comparing moorei clones, look at the way this one holds its shape. The tall height, the oversized opening, and the strong colour contrast make it easy to pick out in a group.
