Sarracenia x Lighting Thief (Shipped Bare-Root)

A slow-growing hybrid predominantly composed of S. leucophylla and S. purpurea, Lightning Thief produces brightly-colored, stocky pitchers with upright orientation and medium stature. Valued by breeders for producing vibrant, fat-trapped seedlings, this cultivar has earned quiet respect in breeding programs where crosses "done a number of years ago" yielded fantastic results.

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.
