Sarracenia x oreophila x purpurea Cooks Liz T. (Shipped Bare-Root)

This cross between the endangered mountain species S. oreophila and the cold-hardy S. purpurea creates S. × pureophila, blending the tall spring vigor of its Alabama parent with the stocky resilience of the northern pitcher. This one originates from Dean Cook's breeding work, combining oreophila's striking red venation potential with purpurea's compact form and legendary hardiness.

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.
