Sarracenia purpurea venosa Purple Veined Pitcher Plant is a distinctive carnivorous plant, with squat, tubular pitchers and rich red-purple veining. Add bold color and unusual form to your plant collection. The special leaves attract and trap insects naturally which makes this plant both decorative and fascinating to grow.
Sarracenia purpurea venosa prefers a bright location with plenty of natural light and prefers its growing medium to be kept moist at all times. For best results use rainwater or distilled water for watering, as carnivorous plants are sensitive to the minerals in tap water.
This unusual pitcher plant is perfect for sunny windowsills, conservatories and carnivorous plant collections and makes a striking addition to the home and a memorable gift for the plant lover.
