Sarracenia Maroon

Sarracenia ‘Maroon’ is a striking and highly collectible carnivorous pitcher plant, admired for its dramatic upright pitchers that develop rich burgundy, maroon, red, and green coloration. Its tubular pitchers are specially adapted to attract and capture insects, giving this plant both an exotic appearance and fascinating natural function. With plenty of sunlight, the deep maroon tones become increasingly intense, creating a bold living display.

This carnivorous beauty thrives in very bright light to full sun and should be grown in a nutrient-poor carnivorous plant mix such as sphagnum peat and perlite. Keep the growing medium consistently wet using distilled water, rainwater, or reverse-osmosis water, as minerals found in typical tap water can damage the plant. Sarracenia are temperate carnivorous plants and benefit from a cool winter dormancy period each year. Avoid traditional fertilizers and never use standard potting soil.
