Description:
Sarracenia formosa is a striking carnivorous plant native to the wet pocosins of the Gulf Coast of North America. This natural hybrid features a low rosette of pinky-red, densely packed pitchers adorned with small white areoles. It thrives in full sun, turning a deep reddish-purple in winter, and produces slightly fragrant, scarlet red blossoms in early spring. The plant is well-suited for terrariums and bog gardens, making it an excellent accent plant. It grows to a height of 4 to 6 inches and prefers a bright to partial bright environment indoors or full sun to partial sun outdoors. Hardy to USDA zone 4, it requires a specialized soil mix like Upper Bog Mix or General CP Mix.
