Sarracenia minor var okefenokeensis giant
hooded pitcher plant
Description
Sarracenia minor var. okefenokeensis 'giant' is a large carnivorous plant that has adapted to nutrient-poor environments. Its pitcher-shaped leaves have a hooded top that attracts and traps insects. The pitchers are typically green with a yellowish or reddish tinge, which can vary depending on light exposure. This variety is a giant form, producing larger pitchers than the standard species, making it an impressive display. They require full sun exposure to thrive and an acidic, nutrient-poor soil. They can be easily grown in a bog-like environment with consistent moisture.
