Sarracenia purpurea ssp. venosa var. Chipola Lee's Botanical Garden (Shipped Bare-Root)

This Sarracenia purpurea ssp. venosa from Florida's Chipola River was sourced by Bruce Lee Bednar's Lee's Botanical Garden, a legendary Miami nursery that has supplied collectors since the 1960s. The Chipola population is celebrated for heavy red venation over yellow-green pitchers that deepen to reddish-purple in full sun, dense surface hairs, and unusually bulbous, pot-bellied forms that remain highly sought after among serious growers.

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.
