Sarracenia leucophylla Blackwater
Pitcher Plant green-white
Description
Sarracenia leucophylla 'Blackwater' is a striking pitcher plant, admired for its tall, colorful pitchers and carnivorous nature. The pitchers are primarily white, but with vibrant red veining, creating a stunning contrast. The 'Blackwater' cultivar is known for its particularly intense red coloration and a tendency to develop darker pigments in the upper parts of the pitchers, making the plant even more eye-catching. This carnivorous plant thrives in full sun and acidic, nutrient-poor soil. Like other pitcher plants, it requires distilled water or rainwater. They do not tolerate nutrient-rich water. The plant has a dormancy period and needs a cool period in the winter months to thrive. It also attracts insects, which it then digests. It's a great plant to add visual interest to your garden and can be grown indoors with the right conditions.
