Description of Sarracenia × moorei - Leah Wilkerson F2 (Laurent)

Sarracenia × moorei 'Leah Wilkerson F2' (Laurent) is a selfed form of the well-known Sarracenia × moorei 'Leah Wilkerson'. This clone, selected by Laurent Cosnefroy, keeps the strong structure and vigour of the parent while showing clearer contrast and variation in the upper pitcher.

Pitchers are tall and robust, with a wide tube that holds its shape through the season. Growth is continuous, with new traps produced from spring into late summer. Mature pitchers reach a large size, reflecting the strong Sarracenia leucophylla influence behind the original 'Leah Wilkerson'.

The upper tube and lid show a pale background that can shift towards white in good light, especially in summer growth. Fine green veining runs across this area, remaining visible without overwhelming the base colour. The contrast between the pale top and the greener lower tube is more pronounced than in the original parent.

The throat patch is a defining feature. It develops as a concentrated red mark that can deepen to a very dark, almost black-red tone. This sits clearly below the lid and stands out against the lighter upper section. The lip is thick and smooth, often matching the surrounding tones of the tube.

As an F2 population, variation exists between different 'Leah Wilkerson' crosses, but this Laurent selection is in demand by collectors for its size, strong seasonal growth, and clear colour separation. It keeps the overall form of 'Leah Wilkerson' while pushing the contrast between white, green, and deep red further.

FAQs

Can I grow Sarracenia outdoors in the UK?

Yes, most Sarracenia species are fully frost-tolerant and can live outside all year round in UK gardens, bog gardens, or patio pots. Species such as leucophylla and psittacina can be more sensitive and usually fare better in an unheated greenhouse.

How do I water Sarracenia?
  • March–October: Stand the plant pot in a saucer or tray containing 1 to 3 cm of rainwater (or more when the weather's really warm). The soil should never be allowed to dry out.
  • November–February: Keep the soil just damp, reducing the standing water significantly while they rest.
Can I use tapwater for Sarracenia?

No, unless you live in a very soft water area (<50ppm) do not use tapwater. Regular tap water contains minerals, lime, and chlorine that burn and kill the roots over time.
Always use collected rainwater, distilled water, or reverse-osmosis (RO) water.

Do Sarracenia need winter dormancy?

Yes, Sarracenia need a cold winter rest period (roughly from Halloween to Valentine's Day) with lower temperatures (unheated greenhouses, cold frames, or bright sheds). Their old pitchers will turn brown and die back; this is completely natural. Trim away dead growth in late winter to prevent mould (botrytis).

What kind of soil should I use for Sarracenia?

Use a specialist peat-free or low-nutrient carnivorous plant compost, typically mixed with perlite or equivalent for drainage. Never use standard multi-purpose garden compost, which contains too many nutrients.
