Sarracenia leucophylla Pubescens
pitcher plant clone Pubescens
Description
Sarracenia leucophylla 'Pubescens' is a distinctive carnivorous plant known for its tall, white pitchers with red or pink veining and a hairy, pubescent texture. The pitchers are trumpet-shaped and trap insects, which provide nutrients for the plant. The hood is often dramatically flared, and the upper part of the pitchers will turn a vibrant red to draw insects. The flowers are typically red or white, and are attractive to pollinators. This variety thrives in full sun and acidic, nutrient-poor soil, and requires consistently moist conditions, so using rainwater or distilled water is highly recommended. Propagate by dividing the rhizome to maintain its unique characteristics.
