Nepenthes boschiana x veitchii Candy Stripe Sean (Seed Grown) (Shipped Bare-Root)

This seed-grown hybrid pairs Nepenthes boschiana's darkly mottled, elongated pitchers with the Bario form of N. veitchii's tubby silhouette and flared, striped peristomes—a cross bred by Sean Springfield that combines two distinct Bornean morphologies. Collectors prize this Candy Stripe line for its vibrant pitcher coloration and the genetic potential to express both parents' dramatic features as the plant matures.
