Grown from seed right here at Brad’s Greenhouse, Sarracenia leucophylla ‘Schnell’s Ghost’ BGH-L12 is a truly spectacular form of the white-topped pitcher plant. This cultivar is known for its strikingly white upper pitchers, crisp green venation, and towering, elegant proportions — with mature traps reaching 30 inches (75 cm) or more under ideal conditions. 

Key Features

• Brilliant white pitchers with delicate lime-green veining and translucent areoles that glow beautifully in sunlight.
• Tall, vigorous growth habit — mature traps commonly reach 28–32 inches tall.
• Late-season showstopper: produces its most dramatic flush of pitchers in late summer through fall.
• Seed-grown plants from Brad’s collection — each one unique, with excellent color contrast and classic leucophylla grace.

Cultivation Notes

Grow in full sun for the whitest coloration. Use a peat–perlite or sphagnum-based bog mix, keeping the roots constantly moist with rain, RO, or distilled water. Provide a cool winter dormancy to ensure strong spring regrowth. Ideal for outdoor bog gardens, greenhouse benches, or collection displays where contrast and height truly shine.

Brad’s Notes

“This seed-grown clone of ‘Schnell’s Ghost’ is one of the whitest leucophyllas I’ve ever seen.” The clean white tops almost glow against the green lower pitchers — absolutely stunning in fall light.” Must be grown from Divisions.

Sarracenia leucophylla is cultivated as an ornamental plant. Despite its native range in the Southeastern U.S., it is remarkably hardy and can be grown outside even in USDA zones 

7 and colder with careful winter protection. In cultivation it is

generally less tolerant of stagnant water conditions and requires

adequate soil drainage while still retaining requisite moisture levels to prevent root rot.

Several clones are recognized:

• 'Schnell's Ghost', a yellow-flowered clone with little red in the pitchers (though not anthocyanin free)
• 'Hurricane Creek White', a group of predominantly white plants from Hurricane Creek, AL
• 'Tarnok', a mutant form which produces a showy, although sterile, double flower
• 'Titan', an especially tall and robust form that may produce fall pitchers greater than 38 inches (97 cm) in height.
