Sarracenia × moorei (flava 'Maxima' X leucophylla)

Sarracenia × moorei (flava 'Maxima' X leucophylla)Sarracenia moorei (flava 'Maxima' leucophylla) is a hybrid that combines the bright, anthocyanin lacking characteristics of Sarracenia flava 'Maxima' with the height and upper pitcher patterning of Sarracenia leucophylla. The result is a tall, elegant plant with clean colouring and strong seasonal growth. Pitchers are upright and slender, often reaching impressive heights as the plant matures.
