Sarracenia naczii

A natural hybrid pitcher plant, Sarracenia flava × S. rosea, formally named by T. Lawrence Mellichamp in 2008. It combines the upright yellow-green trumpets of S. flava with the squatter, redder pitchers of S. rosea. Grow it like its parents: full sun, pure water, wet peat and a cool winter dormancy.

Where it grows wild

A hybrid that forms where its parents meet. Both grow in open, sunny, wet habitats of the south-eastern US coastal plain such as bogs and wet pine savannas, and S. rosea also colonises roadside ditches.

Parents are lowland coastal plain plants, mostly near sea level.

Southeastern United States
