sarracenia leucophylla

Sarracenia leucophylla 'Heavy Veins' Baldwin Co, AL

Baldwin Co, AL

First described
2018

A Baldwin Co leucophylla with an intense red-vein network and modest red below the white pigments — Mike's working name uses "generic Sarracenia grower terms" since the clone hasn't been formally named. Reliable big-trap producer year after year. 4 Mike photos (2018-09-26).

Standout traits

  • Intense network of red veins (most distinctive trait)
  • Red below the white pigments — but not enough red to call it a leuco red
  • Big fat traps year after year — not shy to pitcher up (atypical for many leucophyllas)
  • Big clump that requires significant surgery to divide

Cultivation

  • Reliable annual heavy trap production — easier than many leucophyllas to grow well.

Naming

Mike's "tentative" working label using generic-grower terminology — no formal name. Stands out for the intense red-vein network atop a partially-red lower body.
