Sarracenia purpurea aka Common Pitcherplant

Sarracenia purpurea, known as the purple pitcher plant, northern pitcher plant, turtle socks, or side-saddle flower, is an evergreen, semi-erect, insectivorous perennial that typically grows up to 30cm tall. Its squat, green pitchers are around 15cm long and are flushed and veined with purplish-red, featuring a large lip and an erect, frilled lid. In the spring, this plant produces vibrant, five-petalled, purple flowers that can reach up to 5cm in diameter, blooming above the pitchers. Growing Sarracenia purpurea is relatively easy, although it may not bloom in its first year. Once matured, it displays colorful blooms in various shades, ranging from dark red to light pink. This carnivorous plant grows steadily and does not require frequent repotting, although it can be moved to a wider pot if the pitchers become overcrowded. Adequate direct sunlight throughout the year is essential for the thriving of the purple pitcher plant.
