Sarracenia purpurea var. montana is an unusual species that bears short, squat pitchers with greenish lids and red bodies. Unlike most other Sarracenia, the lid doesn’t cover the pitcher but forms ear-like wings that curl inwards and are patterned with beautiful tree-like veining. Sweet secretions on the lip of the pitcher lure unsuspecting insects that slide down the slippery funnel, tumbling to their deaths in a pool of digestive juices at the bottom. Makes an unusual specimen for a greenhouse, conservatory or windowsill and an ideal gift for the botanically curious. Height: 10cm (4in). Spread: 20cm (8in).
