Sarracenia flava v. atropurpurea “MK27B” x “Faulisi” Potted
Sarracenia flava var atropurpurea “MK27B” x “Faulisi” are a seed-grown batch of unique and gorgeous flava genetics from the hand of Steve Galic. He made these by crossing a solid red atropurpurea from Mike King with Phil Faulisi’s famous Blackwater atropurpurea. Most of them are solid red atropurpurea but a few of them are more rubricorpora with green lids. Make a note under customer notes if it’s important to you to get a solid red one and we’ll do our best! The first ones pulled for mail order will be the darkest so don’t wait.
Care Instructions

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.
