sarracenia flava var. atropurpurea

Sarracenia flava var. atropurpurea 2AT clone#2 Okaloosa Co, FL

Okaloosa Co, FL

Breeder
Mike Wang
First described
2019

A Mike-bred atropurpurea selection from a 500+ seedling Okaloosa Co grow-out — among ~12 retained individuals. Like Waccamaw, traps open red and intensify to solid head-to-toe red as they age (lid stays greenish at first). 8 Mike photos (2019-04 to 2019-05).

Standout traits

  • Like Sarracenia 'Waccamaw' — traps open mostly red, deepen with age
  • Lid greenish at trap-opening; goes solid red from head-to-toe once fully developed
  • Easier-to-color-up subset of the Mike Okaloosa atropurpurea population

Cultivation

  • Recently divided plants may produce green pitchers in the division-recovery year (Mike, 2019).
  • Genetic component to ease-of-coloring; right environmental conditions still required.
