S. purpurea are pretty neat Sarracenia. I admit, I was not such a fan of them starting out but they’ve slowly started to take a hold. I am a fan of their compact growth habit and overall pitcher form. There is a wide range of color and forms to be found within the S. purpurea group. From the deep dark reds, to the very porcelain like veinless ones. Some are smooth to the touch while others are fuzzy. They can withstand the PNW winters and look pretty cool (literally) with a touch of frost. (A few photos below.) Most of the pitchers from last season have burnt out, but there are a few decent ones still lingering. Below are a few snapshots of different S. purpurea forms. (Click on photos to enlarge.)
