This handsome Sarracenia oreophila v. ornata has the characteristic wide open mouth of all Mountain Trumpets. Its deeply red veined throats are topped with a gently doming lids.

Sarracenia oreophila is nearly extinct in the wild. It produces most of its pitchers in spring and goes dormant in late summer. Sarracenia oreophila is a species with a greater tolerance for cold. One of the funny, quirky qualities of oreophila is that its pitchers can wrinkle in summer, giving it a very unusual appearance! 

This species is usually the first up in spring, alongside flava and is usually fully dormant early in the Fall, if you order after September it will arrive cut back.
