The Australian Pitcher Plant

The Australian Pitcher Plant

One of the most desired carnivorous plants in cultivation is the Australian pitcher plant, (Cephalotus). It is a curious pitcher plant of compact growth with bristly, colorful traps that are seemingly yawning for a bite to eat. The plants grow naturally in a narrow coastal strip in extreme southwestern Australia. In the sun, Cephalotus can develop beautiful coloration of red and purples. Shaded, the pitchers may grow larger but remain greenish in color. We recommend reading The Savage Garden to fully explore these incredible plants.
