Sarracenia moorei

Sarracenia ×moorei is the natural hybrid S. flava × S. leucophylla, named by Masters in 1881. It is one of the tallest Sarracenia, with upright pitchers that combine a yellow-green flava tube with white, red-veined areolae in the upper tube and hood. Grow it in full sun, wet peat and soft water with a cool winter rest.
