This Pitcher Plant is a hardy perennial that grows wild in much of the US and Canada!

This large pitcher grows upwards, often partially full of rainwater. The red veins in the pitcher are baited with nectar, luring insects, and have been found in Canada snacking on salamanders! Inside the pitcher, tiny hairs point downwards, preventing the preys escape, and ultimately travelling downwards, to be digested by the pitcher plant!

These plants grow well in common peat moss, or a sand peat blend (50% peat moss). Plants should be watered with distilled, rain or reverse osmosis water only. The growing medium should remain moist at all times, never drying out. Grow in a very bright location. If growing indoors, these plants require a cold/dormant period for about 3 months. Place the container in a cool garage or refrigerator for this period, making sure it doesn't entirely dry out during this dormant period.
