sarracenia alata var. atrorubra

Sarracenia alata var. atrorubra Harrison Co, MS

Harrison Co, MS

First described
2021

A Harrison Co, MS atrorubra alata that colors up easily outdoors — rare trait for alata color forms. Possibly nigrapurpurea (purple-black) re-class candidate. 8 Mike photos (2021, 2023).

Standout traits

  • Colors up easily even outdoors — uncommon trait for alata color forms
  • Has been turning red consistently for 3+ years (Mike 2021)
  • Possibly nigrapurpurea (purple-black) re-class candidate (per Mike 2023)
  • Interior much darker than exterior currently
  • Mike's holy-grail criterion: alatas that color up easily for any grower (not just greenhouse / Mike Wang)
  • nepenthes0260 (2021): 'Exceptional alata clone'

Cultivation

  • Colors up easier than other alatas under identical conditions — outdoor-friendly color form.
  • Color suppressed slightly post-division/transplant.

Naming

Currently labeled atrorubra (deep red). Mike (2023) candidate for nigrapurpurea (purple-black) re-classification once the exterior catches up to the interior darkness.
