Rarely offered!! A very distinct Sarracennia with a hooded top and clear windows at the back of the pitcher. This seems like an intermediate between the Sarracenias and Darlingtonia. The variety okefenokeensis is much taller than the species, growing up to 90cm with a more slender appearance. They also like it wetter than the species. It is endemic to the swamps of the Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge.
In all but the coldest areas it can be left outside on a floating raft with the roots below the water and the base of the trumpets just above. In particularly cold areas they can be kept in water in a cool greenhouse or cold frame.
Potting soil is just peat and/or sphagnum moss. they do not need feeding as they catch their own! Insects fall into the pitchers, inward pointing hairs stop them escaping. They don't dissolve their victims as other carnivorous plants do, but allow them to decompose in the pitcher and obtain their nutrients that way.
