The Savage Garden featured okefenokeensis. Capable of 3-foot pitchers under CalCarn's culture; phenotypic variance with size.
Standout traits
- Reference clone for var. okefenokeensis — featured in The Savage Garden
- Capable of ~3-foot pitchers in California Carnivores' grow
- Phenotypic variance: 'nominal at best' at intermediate size; 'a lot more shapely when they're gigantic'
- Spring-pitcher-dominant — biggest traps formed in spring (with rare Indian-summer fall expression)
- philcula's 2014 framework (post #2): vegetative maturity is distinct from sexual maturity. Don't divide; don't let root-bound; pot larger and deeper. He grew his okee from 18-20" max for 14 years to 32" tall with 4" hoods after stopping divisions.
Cultivation
Outdoor Northern California. Phil Faulisi's vegetative-maturity protocol: stop dividing; pot deeply; improve water quality; don't let root-bound. Phil reports applying this to all his moorei + okee plants with "super giant" results.
