Sarracenia 'Bug Bat' (potted)

Sarracenia ‘Bug Bat’ – Coppery, Speckled Pitcher Plant

Known for its dramatic color transition and compact form, Sarracenia ‘Bug Bat’ features copper-toned pitchers with speckled, burgundy-tinged hoods that fade into chartreuse at the base—a captivating display perfect for bog gardens, containers, or as a standout specimen.

🪴 Shipped: Potted in a 3.5″ × 5″ tall pot unless state regulations require bare-root shipping

☀️ Light: Full sun (6+ hours/day) brings out deepest copper hues
💧 Water: Keep soil consistently moist using only distilled, rain, or reverse osmosis water—potting soil and fertilizer are detrimental

🌿 Dormancy Alert: Sarracenia ‘Bug Bat’ is a temperate perennial and requires a dormancy period from October through March. During this time, the plant will die back to its rhizome. This is a normal and essential part of its lifecycle for long-term health.
