I'm going to order a sarr today which one though? Hard choice
Looking for a beginner friendly plant that forgives if dormancy is a bit "bad"

I recently bought a Sarracenia 'Scarlet Belle' for a couple of reasons.
I like its looks, neat combination of leuco and psittacina.
It has a low growing habit, it'll grow nicely under artificial lights and not get too tall.
It doesn't get too big, a big plus with limited grow-space.
It looks good during dormancy if not exposed to a killing frost, pitchers stay colorful and healthy looking.

My two cents worth.

Good growing,
Mike

I agree, I've had mine for about a year or two and I love it.

Ok, I'll be getting scarlet belle unless someone disagrees. WHo voted catesbaei? Scarlet belle is cheaper anyway. Can they deal with lots of water?

A northern variety purpurea could be a good option. They are tough as nails, and will survive almost anything mother nature can throw at it. Just a thought.

I already ordered scarlet belle. So I will buy catesbaei next time if possible and psittacina x flava last, unless someone sells leuco/minor/purp

You shoud go with a leucophylla or flava next time, purps and their hybrids are usually slow growers, but I am not 100% sure about this, this is just based on my experience of growing them.
