Sarracenia leucophylla usually has a liberal amount of red veining and highlights, but this particular Sarracenia leucophylla comes from an isolated population of Sarracenia leucophylla near Hurricane Creek, Alabama, that became over time almost pure white and green without much red. It's a striking form of Sarracenia leucophylla that grows true to form and color from its own seed. This plant was grown from seed by myself. This is its third growing season.

Thats very beautiful Steve. Are you guys going to start stocking sarracenia again? Please say yes.

Unfortunately, I don't think so. I just shipped the last two of my Sarracenia (both of them Sarracenia leucophylla "Hurricane Creek" grown from seed, like this one), and Matt and I don't have the space in our greenhouses for competing plants. Sarracenia (as anyone knows who grows them) can take up a lot of space; perhaps not as much as Nepenthes, but a substantial amount.

I'm glad to have this Sarracenia in my personal collection though. Unusual and very pretty Sarracenia leucophylla.

More space than VFTs thats for sure.

Right. That's the reason we phased out Sarracenia, and we figure that there are other people who specialize in Sarracenia (like the Sarracenia Northwest guys at cobraplant.com) so we're happy specializing mostly in Venus Flytraps, which the whole FlytrapStore team (Matt, Leah and me) are very fond of. Sarracenia are great though, and very beautiful. I always have mixed feelings when I see Colorful and exotic Sarracenia pitchers in (that have been harvested for) arrangements of live or dead flowers (I'm sure other people have noticed Sarracenia in commercial flower arrangements too).

Yeah, I have noticed that and its a shame really. The whole plants are much prettier than a few pitchers chopped off and mixed in with flowers etc.

I love those pics Steve !

this is my favorite sarr, mine is still dormant but I'm not sure if It was kept too wet over the winter. It completely died back and so far has no shown further signs of growing. Most of my vfts are still dormant though so the sarr most likely is still sleeping.

I heard they are hardier than vfts water wise. We'll see !

They all look great!


I like how tall they are, and their green and white combination on the top
