Sarracenia flava var. cuprea - Very Large Form MK-F153

Sarracenia flava var. cuprea - Very Large Form MK-F153As the name suggests, this is a very large growing Sarracenia flava var. cuprea! This is not our largest cuprea, that is Sarracenia flava var. cuprea 'Strained'. But, this Phil Sheridan clone certainly beats 'Strained' when it comes to looks. The pitchers have a strong copper colour that is often stronger than is typical for this variety. So, if you need an imposing copper coloured Sarracenia flava in your collection, look no further!
