Sarracenia alata purple throat green outside
pitcher plant clone atropurpurea Mk F27C
Description
Sarracenia alata with a purple throat and green exterior is a striking carnivorous plant characterized by its tall, trumpet-shaped pitchers. The pitchers trap insects to supply the plant's nutritional needs, and are a vivid mix of colors. The inside throat is a deep purple, while the exterior remains a rich green. The plant produces yellow or white flowers. This Sarracenia thrives in full sun, and in an acidic, nutrient-poor soil, with consistent moisture. Best use distilled or rainwater for watering to provide the best growing environment. Propagate by dividing the rhizome to preserve this striking color combination.
