Sarracenia ‘Maroon’ - carnivorous plant with deep maroon pitchers

Sarracenia ‘Maroon’ is a decorative hybrid carnivorous plant, valued for its elegant pitchers in intense shades of maroon, dark red, and green, which naturally attract and trap insects. The vertical shape of the traps and the spectacular coloring make this plant a true collector's piece.

Besides its exotic appearance, Sarracenia ‘Maroon’ helps reduce flying insects around the plant by using a natural trapping mechanism. Under optimal conditions, it produces new pitchers annually, becoming increasingly vigorous and brightly colored.

📌 Note: Pitchers may show aesthetic imperfections, slight deformations, or dry areas that appear during cultivation, handling, or transport. These aspects are normal and do not affect the plant's viability. During dormancy, some traps naturally dry out and will be replaced by new pitchers in the next season.
