Seed - Nepenthes veitchii Geoff Wong x villosa #2 6-2026

A highland cross of serious pedigree. The mother is our Geoff Wong clone of Nepenthes veitchii, one of the most admired forms in cultivation for its bold peristome striping and pitcher quality. The father is our villosa #2, a plant with an exceptional history: originally from Geoff Wong, planted in 1996, and in our collection since 2013. Over the decades this individual has proven itself one of the most prolific breeders we have grown, contributing to thousands upon thousands of offspring across our program.

Nepenthes villosa is a true highland jewel, endemic to the upper elevations of Mount Kinabalu and Mount Tambuyukon in Sabah. It is celebrated for its dense, woolly indumentum, powerfully toothed peristome, and compact, heavily built pitchers. Crossed with the refined peristome character and stature of veitchii Geoff Wong, this pairing brings together two of Borneo’s most visually striking highland species. Expect significant variation among seedlings, with real potential for individuals combining the best qualities of both parents.

A cross backed by decades of cultivation history.
