Sarracenia x mitchelliana Robert Co Red (Shipped Bare-Root)

Sarracenia × mitchelliana 'Robert Co Red' is a naturally occurring hybrid of S. leucophylla × S. purpurea subsp. venosa, likely collected from Robert County and selected for its particularly intense red coloration. This medium-height pitcher plant displays the classic mitchelliana architecture—broad, deeply ruffled hoods and thick lips—but with suffused deep red or maroon tones that intensify as temperatures drop, making it a standout selection from this already colorful natural cross.

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.
