Hello all hope everyone is ok heading in to the winter period :-)
Just a quick one. I'm looking for specimen plant for the centre of my bog garden. I'm looking for one with the tallest widest pitchers I can something with a wow factor a talking point. Colour is not important just pitcher size :-)
Many thanks in advance,
Anthony

Several options, but unfortunally large and/or wide pitchering specimens are expensive and often not available as many people want them. Also they are all sold when they are relatively small so you would have to wait for your wow. However, Brooks hybrid is a tall and fast growing plant that is widely available in the UK. You could also ask good Sarracenia nurseries what they have. If anyone wants to offer something to Anthony, remember: NO SALES ALLOWED on this forum, so use PM  |

Anything you can find involving flava rugelii, or oreophila x flava/leucophylla tends to get large.
