Sarracenia x areolata 'DIVERSIFLORA RED', Alabama/Mississippi border
Sarracenia x areolata 'DIVERSIFLORA RED' is natural hybrid, a plant with known location but with open polinated parentage. The plants in our collection are grown from seeds originally collected in the wild on the Alabama - Missisipi border. We acquired them as a mix of seedlings and three of them grew to maturity. This clone is very vigorous and grows taller than both of it's parent species. It's one of the tallest sarras in our collection.
S. x areolata is any plant that is hybrid of S. alata and S. leucophylla. It can be found sporadically where the ranges of its parent species overlap, that is on the wet pocosins of the Gulf Coast of North America.
A signature of the areolata is that it looks its best in autumn, as it typical for both of its parents too. It's late summer pitchers grow larger than the spring ones and they last until the next growing season. The pitchers are very tall and narrow, but also very stout, the plant produces many of them.
We offer L size plants. They have one growing point, side shoots and have flowered.
Occasionally we have a specimen size plant on offer too. Please inquire.
