White Topped Pitcher Plant

Sarracenia leucophylla

10 seeds

These are some of the trumpet pitcher plant group which are insatiable killers. Each leaf can devour hundreds of flies. Placing a large plant near a hornets nest can virtually empty the hive as the hornets are easy prey for these plants. I have opened old traps to find hornets stacked upon each other forming a tall column of dried husks having given up their protein and nutrients to the plant.

Sarracenia leucophylla or White Topped Pitcher Plant, is a must in any carnivorous plant collection. It has a white top with deep red veins and a cotton candy smell that most flying insects find irresistible. Now is your opportunity to grow some. They are very effective carnivorous plants and can help eliminate insect pests in the garden.  My plants regularly consume the Yellow Jacket hornet keeping their numbers very low. They are also quite fond of the European Earwig as well as many other pests.

Live Sphagnum moss is best but peat and sand mix will also work. You can grow these indoor all year round up to two years without dormancy to get larger plants fast!!
