S. x 'Judith Hindle' (Small) (VC)

One of the most beautiful cultivars yet produced, this plant was bred and grown by Alan Hindle in England almost twenty years ago. He sent a division to California Carnivores and Peter registered it, naming it after Alan's wife. The compact pitchers have a wildly undulating lid, and start out green, dappled in whites and yellows. As they age, they transform to deep, dark red. Of the hundreds of Sarracenia in our collection, this is probably the most popular. Judith Hindle's parents were two different clones of S. (purp x flava) x leuc. It is one of the very few Sarracenia in tissue culture, so now everyone can have one! If you only grow one American pitcher plant, this should be the one.
