Sarracenia x Juthatip Soper
Ease to Grow: EasyDormancy: RecommendedParental Native Range: Wet Pocosins of northern Florida and southern AlabamaZones: 6-8 (5-9) Sarracenia 'Juthatip Soper' Pitcher Plant is a hot pink hybrid, S. x mitchelliana, with gorgeous red and pink traps. The traps are upright and of medium height. They are somewhat green at the base, but broad red and purple veins, and pink areoles (windows) dominate the tubes, giving the full trap an exciting, brightly colorful appearance. The hoods are broad and ruffled and the lip is thick and deep red. As cold weather approaches, the traps turn a suffused deep red or maroon. They grow divisions regularly, and form large full colonies. As with other S. leucophylla hybrids, it has a nice show of Spring pitchers, but a great show of vigorous Fall pitchers. For proper care, the Sarracenia cv. Juthatip Soper prefers open, sunny, boggy conditions, and it will hold its color into the frost. The dark red flowers are fragrant, and bloom early in the Spring befor
