Current Genus: Sarracenia
Sarracenia 'Black & Tan' - Pitcher Plant
Tall pitchers have a somewhat tan color with dark veins running along the back of the throat. Flowers are yellow with a copper wash.
Sarracenia alata x purpurea - Pitcher Plant
Small trumpet with lid gathered at neck and flaring out on the sides, yellow-green with dark red netting, turning reddish purple.
Sarracenia leucophylla 'Tarnock' - Double-Flowered White Trumpet
Double reddish flowers emerge in spring on a plant that is otherwise similar to the species.
Sarracenia leucophylla (Green) - Pitcher Plant
This selection has perky green pitchers, without any red, unlike the species. Creamy white veins surround the hood, complementing the green of the pitchers. Refreshing on a hot summer day!
Sarracenia leucophylla (green) x rubra ssp. jonesii (green) - Pitcher Plant
The cross between the Green White Trumpet and Green Mountain Sweet Pitcher Plant—besides being quite a mouthful—is an exceptionally gorgeous plant. Both of the parents have loads of red in them, but this hybrid has mostly green pitchers except for the hood and the areas around the hood, which are a luscious cream or ivory with soft green veining. In fall the tops of the hoods turn a pastel yellow. The elegant pitchers grow to about 18 inches high.
Sarracenia oreophila x leucophylla - Pitcher Plant
Similar to S. leucophylla but with chartreuse pitchers, cream-colored veins, and beige to red shading in area of hoods.
Sarracenia purpurea - Pitcher Plant
The Purple Pitcher Plant has the widest range of any native Pitcher Plant: from Canada and the Great Lakes south along the Eastern Seaboard and west along the Gulf Coast. The northern and southern versions meet—where else?—in New Jersey, although the differences between them are minimal. The pitchers are actually burgundy or maroon, and they are more or less decumbent, i.e. they lie flat with their wavy hoods upturned to trap rainwater and insects. They look sort of like little fat sausages. Red flowers in spring.
Sarracenia rosea - Pitcher Plant
A dead ringer for S. purpurea except for the rosy red pitchers and rosy flowers in spring, this is a rare variant that belongs in everyone's Pitcher Plant collection.
Sarracenia rubra Wherryi x alata - Sweet Pitcher Plant X Pale Trumpet
Relatively petite pitchers with subtle reddish brown veining, especially around hood and throat.
Sarracenia x catesbaei - Pitcher Plant
This hybrid is a cross between the Purple Pitcher Plant and Yellow Trumpet and occurs naturally in the wild. The foot-high pitchers curve upright and have swooping, flared hoods and open bronze before reddening. There is prominent veining along the pitchers and on the hoods. Flowers are pale red.
