Sarracenia catesbaei

Sarracenia ×catesbaei is the natural hybrid S. flava × S. purpurea, one of the most widespread Sarracenia hybrids because the two parents share much of the southeastern coastal plain. Pitchers are intermediate: semi-erect, broad-mouthed and red-veined. Grow it in full sun, wet acidic peat and soft water, with a cold winter rest.
