sarracenia purpurea ssp. purpurea

VARIEGATED Sarracenia purpurea ssp. purpurea

Breeder
Mike Wang (seedling)
First described
2020

A historic 2020-sown variegated purpurea seedling — yellow- streak variegation extremely rare in this species (rarer than AF). Mike's localized-mutation pattern: 2 variegated leaves on mother plant + 1 stable variegated side shoot. Status uncertain since 2020 — possible same fate as C0497 (lost 2024). 8 Mike photos + 1 brownie Twitter context.

Standout traits

  • VERY RARE: yellow-streaked variegation in purpurea ssp. purpurea
  • Yellow streaks rather than typical white-streak variegation
  • Localized mutation pattern (matches Mike's variegated minor C0497 hypothesis): one stable variegated side shoot + non-variegated mother growth
  • Aggressive Maxsea fertilizer-pumping pushed seedling to mature size in <8 months from sowing
  • Sexual-reproduction origin (seedling, not point-mutation)

Cultivation

  • Status uncertain since 2020 — no follow-ups in thread.

Naming

Mike's working label. Yellow-streaked variegation rather than typical white. Sown 2/27/2020 and at <8 months old by first photo (10/18/20) was already very mature thanks to Maxsea fertilizer-pumping.
