sarracenia leucophylla

Sarracenia leucophylla Franklin Co, FL (population)

Franklin Co, FL

First described
2021
Type
population

The source Franklin Co population for many giant + standout leucos in cultivation — likely origin of Drummond's Giant. Diversity includes red + pink-lipped + giant sub-clones. 12 Mike photos (2021-2022).

Standout traits

  • Source population for many giant + standout leucophylla clones in cultivation
  • Mike's hypothesis: Drummond's Giant likely originated from this area
  • Significant within-population diversity
  • Giant-leuco trait (large mouth on relatively short trap) — diagnostic
  • Nice red and pink-lipped sub-clones identified after division
  • hcarlton's downstream division produced good traps year 2

Cultivation

  • Plants need spacing — community-tray crowding suppresses fall trap production for years.
  • voodoochild: leucos in eastern NC overeat moths in late summer/early fall, leading to dead-patch trap collapse — consider cotton-ball-plug strategy.
