Sarracenia x farnhamii
check_circle In Stock
Sarracenia × farnhamii is a classic North American pitcher plant hybrid, combining the influence of Sarracenia leucophylla with Sarracenia rubra. This cross produces elegant, upright pitchers that blend lighter colouring with warm red and pink tones.
Pitchers are typically slender and well-formed, with colour and height varying depending on light levels, temperature, and seasonal growth. As with many Sarracenia hybrids, this plant offers reliable growth and good performance across a range of conditions.
Key Characteristics
- Pitcher colour: Green to pink and red tones, often intensifying with strong light
- Pitcher height: Medium to tall
- Growth habit: Upright, clumping pitcher plant
- Seasonal growth: Active spring–summer, winter dormancy required
- Difficulty: Easy with correct care
Growing Conditions
- Light: Full sun to very bright light for best growth and colour
- 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, pitchers may die back and growth slows before fresh growth resumes in spring.
What You’ll Receive
You will receive a healthy, established plant similar to those shown. As a hybrid carnivorous plant, pitcher size, colour intensity, and overall form will vary depending on seas
