Sarracenia minor var okefenokeensis
hooded pitcher plant
Description
Sarracenia minor var. okefenokeensis, the hooded pitcher plant, is a unique carnivorous plant variant. The plant's pitchers are characterized by a distinct hood, which partially covers the opening. The hood helps protect the plant from excessive rainfall. The plant is a regional variation. These hooded pitchers are often green with some reddish markings. The pitchers lure insects inside. It produces small, downward-facing, yellow flowers. It thrives in the same conditions as other Sarracenia, requiring full sun and acidic, nutrient-poor soil. Cultivating this plant involves providing a sunny location and a bog-like environment.
