Collection: Sarracenia Hybrids - American Pitcher Plants

Sarracenia, or North American pitcher plants, are some of the most striking and efficient bug-catching machines in the plant world. Native to nutrient-poor bogs and wetlands across the eastern U.S. and parts of Canada, these plants are tubular pitchers that lure insects with vivid colors, sweet nectar, and a slippery descent to doom. Once inside, prey are digested by a mix of plant enzymes and resident microbes, providing the plant with vital nutrients—especially nitrogen. From the elegant fluting of Sarracenia leucophylla to the menacing, hooded traps of Sarracenia purpurea, there’s a wild diversity in form and function that makes them endlessly fascinating to grow and collect.
