Type
population multi clone locality

Mike's 2014-introduced Marion Co rubra ancestral — 2 distinct phenotypes (rubra-ssp-rubra + rubra-ssp-gulfensis dominant). Most vigorous Sandhills rubra. Heavily distributed.

Standout traits

  • **Two distinct populations** in Mike's collection: rubra-dominant + gulfensis-dominant phenotypes (atypical genetic diversity)
  • Multiple giant clones — 'most vigorous Sandhills rubra' (acalvin, post #10, 2022)
  • Long lid morphology characteristic
  • Floppy lid trait in some clones
  • Red-clone discovered in propagation tray (Mike, post #16, 2023)
  • Cooler nights delay spring pitcher production (acalvin observation)

Cultivation

  • Outdoor Northern California; over-potting helps moisture retention (hcarlton).
  • Heavily distributed since 2014 entry.
