Sarracenia flava var flava
yellow pitcher plant
Description
Sarracenia flava var. flava, the yellow pitcher plant, is a striking carnivorous plant. Its distinguishing feature is its tall, trumpet-shaped pitchers, primarily yellow in color, often with red or reddish-purple markings. The pitchers secrete a sweet nectar to attract insects. The species is native to the southeastern United States. The pitchers capture and digest insects. The plant produces large, downward-facing, yellow flowers, often with a pleasant scent. To cultivate, it requires full sun, acidic, nutrient-poor soil, and consistent moisture, using rainwater or distilled water.
