Red pigment appears at the base of the trumpets, damaged leaves, and leaf tips especially in young traps. It is a naturally occurring variety of S. flava throughout the Atlantic Coastal Plain of Southeastern North America. It is often referred to as the 'all green' form. S. flava maxima grows in wet boggy soil. It has its best traps in Spring when they are considerably larger and sturdier. They fade by Summer and develop phyllodia (flat leaves) that persist through winter. The very large and showy flowers are yellow, and fragrant. S. flava has some of the largest and most spectacular blooms within the Sarracenia. They generally bloom from March t
