Sarracenia are North American pitcher plants. They grow in wetlands in East coast of the United States. S. X Gila Monster has a gorgeous red top with white speckles. It is a vigorous grower. You will be receiving a division of a mature rhizome with at least one growth point. The traps are most likely cut short to fit the shipping box. The plant will be shipped bare root.

Sarracenia are good companion plants to Venus flytraps as they are often found growing side by side in the wild. Like Venus flytraps, they need a cold dormancy during the winter to store energy for next year. Don’t be alarmed if they start to wither as the temperature gets colder. This is a natural process for them. During the dormancy, keep them in a unheated garage or in a refrigerator. Take them outside in spring when there is no chance of frost.
