This is a very hardy Pitcher Plant hybrid. A cross between a very densly clumping form of Sarracenia purpurea spp venosa, and Sarracenia purpurea var. Montana 'Mclures Bog'. Very hardy, producing many pitchers and well coloured.
It has compact pitchers, open to the sky to collect rainwater. It grows about 20cm high. The pitcher colour is green initially with red veing, becoming a brilliant red/maroon. the flowers are about 45cm high and red in colour.
This is one that can be grown on rafts, probably the easiest way to grow them. Just make sure the crowns are above water. They can also be grown in pots of peat moss, sphagnum moss mixed with perlite or vermiculite. Place the pot in a saucer of rainwater.
