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

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?

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.
