Pots not included
Sarracenia purpurea ssp. purpurea commonly known as the purple pitcher plant, northern pitcher plant, turtle socks, or side-saddle flower, is a carnivorous plant in the family Sarraceniaceae.
Like other species of Sarracenia, S. purpurea Obtains most of its nutrients through prey capture.However, prey acquisition is said to be inefficient, with less than 1% of the visiting prey captured within the pitcher. Even so, anecdotal evidence by growers often shows that pitchers quickly fill up with prey during the warm summer months. Prey fall into the pitcher and drown in the rainwater that collects in the base of each leaf.
When mature, This species needed a winter dormancy to maintain vigor.
PRICE IS FOR 2 PLANTS, 1 Red and 1 Green Sarracenia purpurea ssp. purpurea

Care: Sarracenia enjoy full sun, give them as much light as possible and starting the year after purchase they will need a winter dormancy to maintain vigor long term. If the Red purpurea goes completely green, it needs more light!
