Plant description

The compact, ruffled trumpets of Sarracenia ‘Maroon’ transition from pink-flushed to rich red as they mature, creating a visually striking display. Native to North America, this carnivorous plant is known as a trumpet pitcher due to its elongated tube and trumpet-like opening. Despite their innocent appearance, these plants are highly efficient predators, luring in prey with contrasting leaf colours, appealing scents, and nectar produced by extrafloral nectaries on the lip of the pitchers.

Please note that the pot in the photograph is not supplied with the plant (which is sent out in a simple nursery alternative), but we have a wide and wonderful range on our website to choose from.

How to care for Sarracenia Maroon:

This carnivorous plant should be watered from below during the growing season. The easiest way to do this is to stand the pot in a saucer that is filled with 1cm of soft or rain water. Ideally the pot and water-filled saucer should be kept on a tray of gravel as this will help keep the humidity high. When the plant is dormant, water only when the compost gets dry, making sure the excess can drain away freely. Pot on in spring using a specialist carnivorous plant compost. Plants take a few years to reach maturity and their full potential size. Regular feeding with insects can support healthier and more vigorous growth.
