Sarracenia ‘Wrigleyana’

An unusual Sarracenia species which produces both exotic pitchers and intriguing flowers. A cross between the White Pitcher and the Parrot Pitcher, Sarracenia ‘Wrigleyana’ forms slender green funnels which curl over into white hoods patterned with sinister, blood-red veins. Light shines through these window-like hoods, atttracting unsuspecting insects to plunge to their deaths in the soup of digestive juices contained within the base of each funnel. In spring and early summer, Sarracenia ‘Wrigleyana’ also bears strange flowers, aptly known as ‘blood cups’, due to their deep sanguine colour. Eventual height and spread: 25cm (10in).
