Sarracenia purpurea ssp. venosa Big Moma x purpurea ssp. venosa Antho-free (Shipped Bare-Root)

This exceptional cross unites Jerry Addington's robust "Big Moma"—a vigorous selection from his multi-venosa breeding lines—with the exceedingly rare anthocyanin-free venosa, a green form nearly unheard of in cultivation. Offspring will display the characteristic stout, undulating pitchers of ssp. venosa with variable coloration, each plant carrying the recessive antho-free gene prized by serious breeders for future green-line projects.

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.
