Sarracenia alata “red/black giant” x flava var rugelli ’Bud’s Gargoyle’ Potted

Damon is always thinking about the next new thing he can make with his Sarracenia hybrids! This year he’s releasing an alata x flava hybrid, a cross he hasn’t made many times! He used two exceptional plants (alata “red/black giant” x flava var rugelli ’Bud’s Gargoyle’) in the hopes of getting giant colorful plants with bulbous heads and huge lids! 

So far they’re showing lots of alata. Nice golden plants with bronze veining. Many blushing red on the underside of the lid as the pitchers mature.

Care Instructions
Sun: Full sun outdoors
Water: Always sitting in at least two inches of distilled or purified water, they prefer deep saucers of water or undrained containers in order to recreate their very water logged conditions
Temperature: 15 degrees - 100 degrees, needs protection from colder winters and always keep very wet when hot
Dormancy: All Sarracenia require a winter dormancy starting in October and ending in February. Many of the pitchers will turn brown and die back during this time. Leave them outdoors in full sun, sitting in distilled water during this period. If you live in an area that snows; over winter them indoors on a sunny windowsill in an unheated room or garage. Still sitting in full sun and distilled water.
Soil: Plant comes potted in a custom mix of four parts peat moss to one part perlite.
