Hi! So a while back I bought a death cube pitcher from lowes that was supposed to be a purpurea and had a flower stalk but no pitchers. I planted it with my other Sars and removed the stalk and stuck it in the substrate nearby hoping it will grow. Well now it has developed a very tall new unopened trap so I have no idea what it is! I think it's too tall to be a purpurea. Can anyone identify this young trap and tell me what type of sarracenia this is? Photos attached. Whitney Sanford |

The probability is that it's a hybrid that you will be unable to identify with any confidence. Flower colour and form may give an idea, but for now you have to wait for some leaves to mature.

Typically Sarracenia from Lowes that are not S. purpurea are S. rubra, i believe sbsp rubra.

Agreed, the supposed "purps" in the build-your-own-bog deathcube kits are rubra rubra.

Thank you everyone for your input. That pitcher has doubled in height in two days so excited to see what it looks like when it finally opens

I have seen 'Judith Hindle' and 'Dana's Delight' in them too... slight chance it could be them also.

Update: the unopened pitcher is now six inches tall and hasn't developed any more identifying characteristics

It could be almost anything. There no way to tell until the plant has produced a couple of adult pitchers. For now, it would be worthwhile to invest more in learning how to care for the plant and less in trying to ID the specific type ;-)

Thank you, however, for your concern. I simply cannot identify it yet. Whitney Sanford |
