Sarracenia oreophila Ornata Dekalb Co Colorado Sales Only (Shipped Bare-Root)

This DeKalb County, Alabama clone of Sarracenia oreophila var. ornata—a variety formally described by McPherson and Schnell in 2011—displays the heavily red and purple-veined pitchers characteristic of this critically endangered Sand Mountain form. Prized for its intricate venation patterns and vigorous growth habit, it remains controversial among collectors, with some experts suggesting heavily marked "ornata" clones may represent natural flava × oreophila hybrids rather than pure species.

Our bare root Sarracenia (North American pitcher plants) are shipped according to their natural growing cycle. During the active growing season (spring through early fall), you'll receive a plant with live foliage, often including vibrant pitchers. In the winter months, Sarracenia naturally enter dormancy, and will be shipped without leaves or with brown, dying pitchers—this is completely normal and essential for the plant's long-term health. Please note that the plant and photo shown are representative of the variety but not the exact plant you will receive. Each plant is unique, and we guarantee a healthy, established rhizome ready to grow.
