Sarracenia psittacina var. okefenokeensis (Covington County, Alabama, USA) - Parrot Pitcher Plant

The Sarracenia psittacina, commonly referred to as the Parrot Pitcher Plant, is a highly distinctive species. Its pitchers protrude outward and have a distinctive "hood" shape. This plant is uniquely adapted to its natural habitat, where it is seasonally submerged in water and is capable of capturing aquatic prey. The deep purple-red colouring of the plant is adorned with numerous white light-windows, giving its large, spherical hoods a striking appearance.

Please note Sarracenia are very large and leaves will have to be bent or cut down to fit in a box. Larger orders are larger boxes. If you need your plant to arrive at full height please message me after ordering to discuss larger box costs. Leaves grow quickly so you don't need to worry about losing some.
