Sarracenia flava var. cuprea
pitcher plant
Description
Sarracenia flava var. cuprea is a striking variety of the yellow pitcher plant, distinguished by its coppery-red coloration. Its trumpet-shaped pitchers stand upright, with a vibrant reddish hue. The plant is carnivorous, trapping insects in its pitchers using a pitfall trap. It flourishes in full sun and acidic, nutrient-poor soil. A critical aspect of its care is watering it with rainwater or distilled water to avoid mineral buildup. This plant brings a distinctive flair to bog gardens or carnivorous plant collections with its unique appearance and predatory nature.
