SFL-MIS-001 – Sarracenia ‘Carolina Caramel’

I have grown this cultivar which I germinated from seed received from Orton Plantation, North
Carolina, USA in the late 1990’s. After twenty years or so, I finally selected this particular clone
from a group of plants I still had and named it Sarracenia ‘Carolina Caramel’. It is a cross of S.
flava var. maxima × S. flava var. cuprea. Both originated from the Carolinas.
The plant is distinguished by the beautiful soft colors and velvet-like appearance. The entire
pitcher shows a typical pale maxima-green color, and the exterior of the hood is caramel-colored
(cuprea) with green inverted veins. Later in the season, the hood turns a little darker and so the
veins stand out more. Despite the modest colors, it is a striking plant, vigorous, up to 90 cm tall.
The flowers are striking yellow, like in most S. flava’s.
Sarracenia ‘Carolina Caramel’ must be reproduced vegetatively to preserve the characteristics
of the cultivar.

Sarracenias get shipped bareroot (without soil).
