Sarracenia ahles

Sarracenia ×ahlesii is a natural hybrid pitcher plant described by Bell and Case in 1956 from the coastal plain of Alabama, generally treated as S. alata × S. rubra. Grow it like its parents: full sun, soft water, wet acidic peat, and a cold winter dormancy. The name 'ahles' appears to be a truncation of ×ahlesii; this profile follows that hybrid.
