Plant information: Trumpet pitcher plant 'Sarracenia purpurea var. Venosa'

Trumpet pitcher plant purpurea var venosa (Sarracenia purpurea var. venosa) is an American pitcher plant. This is a unique group of carnivorous plants found in the eastern United States and Canada. The plant features cup-shaped traps that have a compact form and are located close to the ground. Sarracenia purpurea can be kept both indoors and outdoors and is hardy. The species has purple flowers that grow on long stems. In the trap of this American pitcher plant, there is always a layer of rainwater mixed with digestive enzymes, where insects drown and are digested. The traps of Sarracenia purpurea var. venosa turn deep red in color at high light intensity. This plant does not have a lid over the trap, unlike many other Sarracenia species, because this species needs rainwater in its cups. Araflora has many different types of Sarracenia in its assortment. Be sure to check out the other cultivars and Sarracenia species as well.
