sarracenia leucophylla

Sarracenia leucophylla RED 'white lips'

Breeder
Mike Wang
First described
2020

A Mike-bred F1 selection from the WRR × Dark Red Covington Co breeding cross — thick white lips on a solid red body. Second documented white-lipped leuco in cultivation (after C0374 Franklin). 6 Mike photos (2020). xyu's 2024 division photos in flic.kr links not mirrored.

Standout traits

  • Thick white lips on a solid red body — visual contrast 'really makes the lips bling out' (Mike, 2020)
  • Almost the entire body of the pitcher turns red — unbelievable trait
  • Selected from Mike's WRR × Dark Red Covington breeding batch (C0460/C0485)
  • Originated as a small seedling, color expression confirmed in 2020 follow-up photos

Cultivation

  • White-lip expression likely environment-influenced.
