About This Plant

Pitcher Plants are carnivorous bog perennials with extraordinary tubular trapping leaves and umbrella-like flowers. North American natives.
Full sun to part sun suits this species. Plant in wet acidic bog conditions soil. Hardy USDA Zone 6 to 9. Plant in nutrient-poor wet acidic medium (peat moss + perlite). NEVER fertilize. Use only rainwater or distilled water.
For a Pacific Northwest native perennial of similar character, consider Aquilegia formosa (Western Red Columbine), Tellima grandiflora (Fringecups), or Dicentra formosa (Pacific Bleeding Heart) , all support native pollinators.
