Sarracenia x Catesbaei 'Red', Live American Pitcher Plant
A erect growing Sarracenia hybrid that has beautifully flared hoods and a deep red leaves with prominent veining. It is a natural hybrid between S Flava and S purpurea making it a good candidate for bogs in colder regions. Stays relatively short in statue but forms large clumps over time. Does well when planted outside in full sun. Zone 4-9.
Sarracenia care: American pitcher plants like to be outdoors. They do well in full sun, bog environments. Make sure their roots and rhizomes stay wet during the growing season. If you must water them, use rain, RO or distilled water. They can tolerate high temperatures as long as they do not dry out. Sarracenias are hardy to zones 4. During the winter they will go dormant and stop producing pitchers. You can protect them from hard freezes and biting winds by covering with leaves and burlap during the coldest winter months. Make sure they do not go dry during this time. In the spring they will ‘wake up’ and produce new pitchers and flower if old enough.
