Super Duper!

There’s a new anthocyanin free Sarracenia in the collection. Sarracenia purpurea f. luteola ‘Super-duper’! A huge thank you to Bob Ziemer for this fantastic plant. This is an incredible large growing luteola. The official cultivar description can be found here: https://cpn.carnivorousplants.org/articles/CPNv49n3p139_142.pdf

Upon opening the box, I was shocked by the impressive size of the plant. The other luteolas that I grow have not gotten anywhere close to this size. The last photo below the gallery shows a size comparison between the freshly potted S. purpurea f. luteola ‘Super-duper’ and another pot of a typical S. purpurea f. luteola. It is winter so things are dormant and I’ve already cut some pitchers back on the typical one. The plants will appear more full and larger once the growing season is in effect. That should be quite a sight to see! One of the divisions I potted up in a 2 gallon pot to give it room to grow, but it already looks like I might need a larger pot. Another division that was sent has a bud forming! If possible, I’m hoping to work with it this upcoming season. Thanks again for hooking it up, Bob!
