Sarracenia minor var. okefenokeensis 'Clone Q' Ware Co, GA

Ware Co, GA

First described
2013
Type
single clone named

Coppery-headed Ware Co lettered-series clone with shape that improves with size. Source population reported as extirpated.

Standout traits

  • Coppery heads — generally consistent in expression
  • Better trap shape at giant size than at smaller size (Mike, post #1, 2013): 'the traps look more shapely when they are giant in comparison to when they are smaller'
  • Relatively fast growing
  • Consistently giant in years with favorable growing conditions
  • Giant rhizome typical for high-trap-size okees (Mike, post #1: 'the rhizome on the mother plant is ridiculously big — same can be said for all okee giant plants with giant traps')
  • Lipstick-like nectar roll — kiwiearl's distinctive descriptor (post #2, 2013)

Cultivation

Outdoor Northern California. Trap-size expression closely tied to growing-condition quality — high-quality years produce giants; off-years still produce attractive shapely traps.

Naming

'Clone Q' — Mike's internal letter designation.
