American Pitcher Plants (Sarracenia)

Beautiful and easy to grow, American Pitcher Plants (Sarracenia) may be the most ravenous and under appreciated plants in horticulture. The bizarre and often handsome leaves can catch thousands of nasty insects such as ants, flies, and wasps. Their flowers are showy, brilliant, and unusual- a wonderful bonus to an already handsome class of foliage plants.
