sarracenia hybrid
Sarracenia × mitchelliana (mass-tissue-cultured European-imported clone)
- First described
- 2012
- Type
- mass tissue cultured historical import
Origin
A widely-distributed mass-tissue-cultured S. × mitchelliana (purpurea × leucophylla) — produced in European TC labs and imported into the US. Single-post 2012 thread; minimal details.
Cultivation notes
Outdoor / bright-light culture brings out the color; greenhouse fields of this clone (Mike's framing) "didn't look all that special."
Photos
No photos mirrored — the two original photobucket links are broken.
Standout traits
- Mass-tissue-cultured stock — widely distributed, genetically uniform
- Greenhouse-grown plants 'didn't look all that special' — colors emerge under bright outdoor light (Mike, post #1, 2012)
Cultivation
Outdoor / bright-light culture is essential for color expression. Plants under heavy shade or other plants stay nondescript. Single-sentence cultivation note from the thread.
Naming
S. × mitchelliana = traditional designation for purpurea × leucophylla hybrids. This entry covers the specific TC-propagated clone widely imported from Europe, distinct from named Mitchelliana clones in the wiki (e.g., 'Neon Pink', 'White Mitch').
