sarracenia leucophylla

Sarracenia leucophylla 'tall, white dominant petiole' Okaloosa Co, FL

Okaloosa Co, FL

First described
2018

An Okaloosa Co leucophylla selected for unusually white petiole expression in mature plants. Strongly chameleon — varies year- to-year between near-alba whiteness and standard leucophylla heavy veining. Mike (2022) thinks it can go almost full alba under the right conditions. 26 Mike photos (2018-2022).

Standout traits

  • White-dominant petiole when mature; only fully expresses on bigger plants
  • Strongly chameleon — can look almost like a regular leucophylla one year and very white the next
  • Mike (2022): could possibly go straight up alba under the right conditions
  • Spring pitchers can also be impressively white (2020-04 spring traps unusually alba-like)
  • Moderately easy to propagate

Cultivation

  • Plant must size up before colors fully express.
  • Optimal conditions reduce red veins / reveal solid white; suboptimal conditions push toward heavily-veined chameleon expression.
  • Divisions can outperform the mother plant.

Naming

Mike's label — describes a tall clone with white-dominant petiole expression. Selected from "countless" Okaloosa Co leucophyllas after years of grow-out for an unusually white petiole at maturity.
