sarracenia flava var. rubricorpora

Sarracenia flava var. rubricorpora 'Burgundy' (imported from Europe)

USA (via European cultivation)

First described
2011
Type
single clone imported from europe
Cultivar
'Burgundy'

Origin

A rubricorpora clone Mike imported from Europe. Original wild origin not stated. Mike's view: one of the best rubricorporas in existence — but very slow growing under his NorCal conditions, with divisions hard to come by.

Naming caveat

This is distinct from S. leucophylla 'Burgundy' (cluster C0015) — different species, different cultivar with the same "Burgundy" name. Don't conflate them.

Standout traits

  • Mike's view: 'Definitely one of the best rubricorporas out there.'
  • Very slow growing under Mike's conditions — Mike: 'taking forever to get divisions.'
  • Imported from Europe — likely cultivation chain longer than typical US-grown rubricorporas.

Cultivation

Slow-growth pattern in Mike's NorCal climate. Plant the long game: divisions are scarce because the clone reproduces slowly.

Naming

"Burgundy" — the deep burgundy-red coloration trait, established in European cultivation before Mike acquired it.
