Nepenthes [(lowii x veitchii) x boschiana] x [(veitchii x maxima) x veitchii] (F-clone) x [(lowii x veitchii) x campanulata] NP98 - Seed Grown (Shipped Bare Root)

These Taerwe Tropicals imports are still fairly new, brought in during July 2026, so yours may arrive without an active pitcher just yet. They have had enough time in my care to settle in well, and I am confident they will grow great once they have found their new home.

NP98 shares the same F-clone mother line as several of our other complex hybrids, prized for its wide, rich burgundy and yellow striping. Paired here with a male carrying its own lowii, veitchii, and campanulata parentage, this cross deepens an already striking line with more of the deep red, glossy pitcher tones and full, rounded peristome seen in the male parent.

Nepenthes lowii and Nepenthes veitchii each appear multiple times across the lineage, contributing the constricted, waisted pitcher shape and wide, flared peristome that define much of this family. Nepenthes boschiana adds a broad, funnel shaped peristome and robust growth, while Nepenthes maxima brings wide natural variation in pitcher form and coloration. Nepenthes campanulata, one of the rarer species in cultivation, rounds out the cross with its distinctive bell shaped lower pitchers.

Sourced directly from Taerwe Tropicals of Belgium through our exclusive US partnership.
