(Pitcher Plant)

Collectively called "pitcher plants", these terrestrial North American natives can be found in bogs and other wetlands from the Northwest Territories of Canada down to Florida. There are approximately nine non-hybrid species of Sarracenia and around 15 hybrid species. In recent years, many new and exciting cultivars have been developed. All species are insectivorous, meaning they kill and digest insects, and have wonderfully interesting pitchers and umbrella-like flowers.

(Pale Pitcher Plant)

The elegant pale pitcher plant produces long, tall, insect-catching pitchers of pale yellow-green with purplish highlights and venation. Pale cream and yellowish green flowers are produced in spring. Naturally distributed in the American South, from Alabama across to Texas, it exists in peaty seepage bogs and pine savannah wetlands where soils are nutrient-poor and surprisingly rich in clay. Typically grown as a specialty bog garden plant, this attractive pitcher plant is parent to several hybrids...

(Case's Resolve Pitcher Plant, Pitcher Plant)

A tidy, clump-forming plant with upright pitchers with hoods that resemble flat-topped cobra heads, 'Case's Resolve' is the result from years of various hybridizing experiments by Larry Mellichamp and Rob Gardner from botanical gardens in North Carolina. This semi-evergreen perennial resulted from a cross between the hooded pitcher plant (Sarracenia minor and an ambiguous hybrid cultivar named 'Bog Witch'.

Growing from short, thick rhizomes (underground stems), the Case's Resolve pitcher...

(Dixie Lace Pitcher Plant, Pitcher Plant)

Dark red pitchers with lace-like vein patterns on the fuzzy dark red pitchers makes the Dixie Lace pitcher plant one of the first of many hybrid carnivorous plants created for ornamental garden display and enjoyment. The result of hybridizing various native pitcher plants over the 1980s and early 1990s, 'Dixie Lace' was selected by breeders Larry Mellichamp and Rob Gardner from botanical gardens in North Carolina. This semi-evergreen perennial becomes dormant only when drought, extreme cold or fire...

(White Pitcher Plant, White Trumpet, White-Topped Pitcher Plant)

Perhaps the showiest carnivorous plant species native to the United States, the white-topped pitcher plant's tube-like leaves themselves look like flowers. They're so attractive -- with white hoods with red-pink veins -- that the American floral industry intensely and often illegally harvests them from the wild for sale as dried cut flowers. White-topped pitcher plant naturally grows from Mississippi to the Florida Panhandle in sandy bogs alongside other species of pitcher plants. Its habitat is...

(Tarnok White Pitcher Plant, White Pitcher Plant)

A sterile ornamental carnivorous plant,, the Tarnok white pitcher plant's tube-like leaves themselves look like flowers. The main difference between this cultivar and wild plants is that Tarnok's flowers are mutations that lack proper female sex organ structure and extra sepals form to create a ruffled, double-form blossom.

The pitcher plant grows as a clumping rosette of small green leaves called phyllodia. In both spring and late summer, 'Tarnok' produces upright modified leaves that look like...
