Sarracenia x leucophylla G2 x Adrian Slack (Shipped Bare-Root)

This striking hybrid combines two exceptional bloodlines: the legendary Adrian Slack cultivar, celebrated for blood-red lips and white lids streaked with crimson veins, crossed with a superior G2 selection of the classic S. leucophylla. Expect pitchers that transition from green to deep red in the upper tubes, inheriting Adrian Slack's dramatic coloration while potentially displaying the refined pitcher form that makes leucophylla crosses so prized by serious collectors.

Care Requirements

Light — 8+ hours of direct sun daily. Outdoors in full sun or a south-facing greenhouse is ideal.

Water — Pure water only, under 50ppm dissolved solids. Use distilled, reverse osmosis, or collected rainwater. Most tap water will not work. Use the tray method — keep roots sitting in 1–2 inches of water at all times during the growing season.

Soil — Pure peat moss or long-fiber sphagnum, with optional perlite or sand added for drainage. Garden soil will not work.

Dormancy — Required. Allow 3 to 4 months of cold dormancy each winter for long-term health.

Hardiness — Zones 6–9 outdoors depending on species, or overwinter indoors in a cool location.

Shipping & What to Expect

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.
