VAT included

In Sarracenia , the leaves of the variety Sarracenia purpurea burkii are even more broadly wavy than the typical variety venosa , but the most striking feature of this variety is its flowers, whose petals range from lavender pink to pastel pink.

This plant is native to the central coastal plain of the Gulf of Mexico and was named burkii in honor of Mr. Louis Burk, a renowned horticulturist from Philadelphia.

From 8 to 15 cm high.

From October to March (rest period) , the foliage of the plant partially disappears. The Sarracenia purpurea subsp venosa var burkii is then delivered in the form of a rhizome still rooted in a pot and ready to start again in spring.

Characteristic: pot 9 cm

Sarracenia purpurea & maintenance

Sarracenia and Temperature

Up to 40°C in summer. Protect from frost if the carnivorous plant is in a small pot (less than 20 cm in diameter). Tolerates up to -15°C in a large pot or peat bog.

Sarracenia and watering

Use only rainwater, demineralized or osmosis . Water that is too hard will cause your Sarracenia to die in a few weeks. Do not use bottled water, as it generally contains too much salt, which is harmful to the plant. In summer, place the plant in a large saucer with water. In winter, keep the substrate moist.

Fertilizer for Sarracenia

To be totally avoided! The plant provides its own organic nutrient needs thanks to its traps.
