Sarracenia minor var. okefenokeensis Seed-Grown Potted

Sarracenia minor is one of our favorite species. Its unusual pitchers have an almost monkish, grinning appearance with a domed canopy over the mouth.  On the upper portion of the back side of the pitcher are many opaque light windows. These windows are the key to its unique trapping mechanism. When insects are led to the lip of the mouth by nectar trails, they find themselves in a darkened position due to the overhanging hood. Crawling insects are encouraged to enter the trap, which is much brighter due to the sunlight filtering in through the light windows. This variety, often called 'Okee Giant,' is named after southern Georgia's Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge, where most are found. It is known for its enormously tall and narrow pitchers, which can reach 3 feet! It often grows on floating hummocks of live sphagnum moss. These plants are seed-grown, so there is some variation in form, size, and color, and the genetic diversity is really exciting!  DORMANT SEASONALLY, STARTING AS
