Highlights

Sarracenia 'Maroon' is a strikingly beautiful North American pitcher plant hybrid known for its deep reddish-purple hues and elegant, upright tubular pitchers. This carnivorous plant uses its vivid coloration and sweet nectar to lure unsuspecting insects into its pitchers, where they are naturally digested, making it both an eye-catching and functional addition to your collection. 'Maroon' thrives in consistently moist, acidic soil and full sun, developing its richest colors with plenty of light. Ideal for bog gardens, containers, or windowsills with high humidity, this plant is a must-have for carnivorous plant enthusiasts seeking vibrant color and fascinating form. This plant ships as a plug, without a pot.

Sarracenia 'Maroon' is a North American pitcher plant known for its deep red tubular pitchers and vigorous growth. It thrives in full sun—at least 6 hours daily—to maintain its rich color and robust form. Plant it in a nutrient-poor medium, and always keep the soil moist using distilled, rain, or reverse osmosis water. Never use tap water, as minerals can harm the plant. This species requires a winter dormancy period (around 3–4 months), during which it should be kept cool (35–50°F / 1–10°C) and receive reduced watering. Avoid feeding with fertilizer; instead, let it capture insects naturally to meet its nutritional needs. Ideal for outdoor bog gardens or bright windowsills with high humidity and proper seasonal changes.
