Sarracenia purpurea ssp. venosa var. burkeii - Purple Pitcher Plant

Sarracenia purpurea ssp. venosa var. burkeii is a robust carnivorous pitcher plant endemic to the US Gulf Coast, naturally inhabiting nutrient-poor wetland environments. This variety exhibits distinctive morphological characteristics including compact, prostrate growth and short, densely hirsute pitchers. Colouration varies from deep purple to maroon. Optimal cultivation requires bright illumination and consistently wet  soil that replicate its native bog ecosystem.

• Skill Level: Easy.
  
• Light: Min 3 hours direct sun, max all day.
• Water: Fill tray, keep in water at all times.
• Dormancy: New leaves stop forming during the colder months and old leaves will slowly die off.
• Pot Size 15cm (2L).

Please note some Sarracenia are very large in size and leaves will have to be bent or cut down to fit in smaller boxes. Leaves grow quickly so you don't need to worry about losing some.

• Larger orders mean larger boxes. 
• If you need your plant to arrive at full height please message me after ordering to discuss shipping options. 
• Bare root option is available to save on shipping, as the pots are 2kg each. Please message me if you wish to go this route, but take note you need special soil types to replant on arrival as they live in moss or peat, not potting soil.
