Sarracenia purpurea

Sarracenia purpurea has a compact, low to the ground form and produces tubby and very attractive pitchers. Since it often natural grows covered amongst grasses, purpurea is typically more tolerant of shaded conditions than other species in the genus.

Please note: These plants naturally enter winter dormancy and may not display their best pitchers during this time. This does not affect their health in any way—it's completely normal and expected.

Much taxonomical debate exists concerning the southernly occurring rosea/purpurea plants. Some designate rosea as purpurea ssp. venosa var. burkei while others distinguish it as rosea. Based on our field observations, our opinion is that the populations are distinct enough to warrant separation; however, the matter is best left to researchers who are better equipped for taxonomical arguments.
