sarracenia rosea

Sarracenia rosea 'large, vigorous' Liberty Co, FL

Liberty Co, FL

First described
2019

A Mike-selected Liberty Co, FL rosea — large traps via vigor rather than slow-growth genetic-giant pattern. Almost lost after years of low priority; recovered via babying and divided for the first time winter 2024-2025. More vibrantly colored than other Liberty Co roseas Mike has compared. 8 Mike photos (2019 and 2025).

Standout traits

  • Large traps from vigor (not slow-growth genetic-giant pattern)

Cultivation

  • Mike almost lost the clone — recovered after years of babying; first divisions made winter 2024-2025.
