Sarracenia minor 'Okee Giant'

Overview

The Hooded Pitcher Plant (Sarracenia minor 'Okee Giant') is a carnivorous plant known for its unique form. Its tall, pitcher-shaped leaves can reach up to 8-10 inches tall and 6-7 inches wide. They are a remarkable dark burgundy color that turns a golden-orange when exposed to direct sunlight. Its hood of leaf-like flaps helps the plant lure, trap, and digest small insects. It is an ideal choice for those looking to add a touch of the exotic to the home or garden and requires very low maintenance.
