Description:
Sarracenia purpurea ssp. purpurea, also known as Devil's Boots or Side-Saddle Flower, is a low-growing carnivorous plant with stout traps. It displays a striking burgundy color with red veins in full sun and turns deep reddish-purple in winter. The plant forms clumps that can spread to over 4 feet across, with traps retaining their color for nearly two years. It blooms in early spring with fragrant, deep red flowers. Native to regions from Maryland to Newfoundland, it is hardy to zone 2 and suitable for terrariums and backyard bog gardens. Historically, it was used in colonial homeopathic medicine.
