Sarracenia (Pitcher Plants)

Sarracenia (Pitcher Plants)

Commonly known as the American Pitcher Plant, is considered to be one of the most overlooked species in the world of carnivorous plants. In reality though, plants of this genus are generally among the easiest and most pleasing to grow. Due to the massive number of hybrids that have been produced over time, botanists debate the number of base species of Sarracenia; generally accepted there being 8 to 11. The eight (8) best known being native to North America; primarily the Southeastern portion of the US.

Sarracenia takes its prey using a passive trap, meaning it does not shut to keep the catch in. The plant gets its common name from the traps themselves, which resemble the shape of an urn or pitcher.
