Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Sarracenia 'Scarlet Belle' is a carnivorous plant that displays rounded, white pitchers with deep burgundy veining. Pitchers lay down as they mature. Each clump can produce up to 100 pitchers. Carnivorous plants survive best in containers. Can also be grown in a closed terrarium! Plant and grow in moist to wet soil mix: 50% peat moss, 50% perlite. Water with pure, low mineral water. Do not fertilize or force feed.

With a spreading and open form, 'Scarlet Belle' lends itself to small spaces. The stems and pitchers are beautifully marked in tones of red and meshed white. The narrower hood sets it apart from others in the genus. Another easy-to-grow plant that's perfect for a sunny windowsill and only needs a saucer of water to thrive

A carnivorous vamp! Sultry red veined pitchers overlaid with intricate silver mesh add color and conversation to your garden areas! Grow it in a pot or pond side in a boggy area. These are HARDY so enjoy them all year outdoors! This is a fast growing selection, 10" tall and 15" wide; the pitchers have a rather horizontal 'reclining' stature. Needs sun, acidic peaty soil (50-50 sand and peat moss), constant moisture and NO fertilizer! Please don't feed me meat…I'll catch bugs when I need them. This is not a houseplant.
