Sarracenia leucophylla x willisii
check_circle In Stock
Sarracenia leucophylla × willisii is a striking carnivorous pitcher plant combining the bold white fenestration of Sarracenia leucophylla with the rich colour and strong form associated with the classic hybrid Sarracenia × willisii. The result is a tall, elegant plant with heavily veined white lids flushed with pink, red, and deep burgundy tones.
Pitchers are produced on upright stems and are particularly impressive later in the growing season, when size and colour contrast are at their peak. As with all Sarracenia, appearance will vary depending on light levels, temperature, and time of year.
Key Characteristics
- Pitcher colour: White lids with strong red veining and pink to burgundy tones
- Pitcher height: Medium to tall under good growing conditions
- Growth habit: Upright, clumping pitcher plant
- Seasonal growth: Active spring–summer, peak display later in the season
- Difficulty: Easy when grown in appropriate conditions
Growing Conditions
- Light: Full sun to very bright light for best colour and pitcher development
- Water: Rainwater, distilled, or reverse-osmosis water only
- Soil: Carnivorous plant mix (peat with sand or perlite)
- Humidity: Average to high
- Climate: Temperate – requires a winter dormancy period
Winter dormancy is essential for long-term health. During cooler months, growth slows or stops, pitchers may die back, and the plant rests before producing fresh growth in spring.
What You’ll Receive
You will receive a healthy, established plant similar to those shown. As this is a hybrid carnivorous plant, pitcher size, colour intensity, and patterning will vary with season and growing conditions.
