Sarracenia rubra ssp. rubra
The pitchers of Sarracenia rubra , slender and a fine red, are topped with a slightly pointed lid. A sweet nectar, intended to attract and intoxicate insects, is produced at the entrance of the trap.
Easy to grow, like all Sarracenia , this carnivorous plant can be placed outdoors all year round.
From October to April (dormant period) , the plant's foliage partially disappears. Sarracenia rubra ssp. rubra is then delivered as a rooted rhizome in a pot, ready to regrow in the spring.
A plant that is dying is often due to unsuitable growing conditions. Consult our guide: Why is my carnivorous plant dying ?
