Sarracenia rubra wherryi x alabamensis wherryi

Ease to Grow: Easy Dormancy: Suggested Native Range: Wet Pocosins of coastal Southeastern North America Zones: 6-9 (5-9) Sarracenia rubra wherryi x alabamensis wherryi is a complex hybrid that grows low to medium in height with traps that resemble S. alata or a narrower, shorter S. flava. It has a network of fine red reticulated veins (vertical veins connected by fine smaller veins), unlike the pin stripe veins in S. alata.
