Sarracenia rubra
PITCHER PLANT RED SWEET

SKU: 874-010
Regular price 11.99

per

Also known as the Sweet Pitcher Plant, the Red Pitcher Plant is probably the most robust of the red Pitcher Plants, producing pitchers up to 40cm tall. In spring, deep red flowers are produced which have a mildly sweet fragrance. Pitchers begin greenish, and quickly turn to red, and produce a sweet nectar to lure insects into the trap. Trapped insects are unable to escape, due to many 'hairs' pointing downwards, and also due to the slippery surface. The insect is then digested by the plant, and the insects nutrients are used to help the plant grow. These plants are native to the southern United States. This plant can also be grown indoors as a house plant, though should be given 3-4 months of cool temperatures during the winter so it can rest. The leaves will remain through the winter, and are evergreen. Always keep the plants from drying, even during the winter months. Use rain water, or bottled water, as plants dislike municipally treated water. Grow in full sun, with a minimum of 6 hours of sunlight per day. These plants require nutrient-free soil, a 50% peat moss and 50% perlite blend is ideal. Do not use potting mix. Fertilizer is never needed, as plants obtain all of the nutrients they need from the insect they attract.

Type: Perennial or houseplant

Location: Sun or part sun

Hardiness zones: 7-10, possibly zone 6.

Seeds per packet: 10
