Sarracenia farnhamii (potted)

Sarracenia farnhamii – Compact, Colorful Pitcher Plant

Sarracenia farnhamii is a beautiful and vigorous pitcher plant selection with upright, trumpet-shaped pitchers adorned in soft green tones heavily overlaid with bold red veining and speckling. The hoods are attractively flared, helping to shade the pitcher opening while also showcasing the vibrant coloration. This hybrid is known for its showy appearance and ease of growth, making it a great choice for both beginners and seasoned collectors.

Mature pitchers typically reach 14 to 24 inches tall, and plants form dense clumps over time. Like all temperate Sarracenia, it requires a winter dormancy period to thrive long-term and will re-emerge each spring with a fresh flush of growth.
