SEED - Sarracenia minor - Hooded Pitcher Plant - 10+ Per Packet

Sarracenia minor, also known as the hooded pitcher plant, resembles a typical North American pitcher plant to the human eye. However, to insects, it may appear as the grim reaper. This species can be located in coastal plains of south-eastern North Carolina, extending southward into the Florida Panhandle, reaching as far as Okeechobee County. It is considered the most southern-growing of all the Sarracenia species.

Sowing instructions:

• Sow on top of growing media, either peat of sphagnum can be used.
• Ensure good airflow too prevent mould growing on the surface of the media.
• Keep pot in bright lights to full sun.
• Once you have sowed the seed place the pot in a zip-lock bag in the fridge for 3 months to simulate winter to ensure best germination results.
• If the pot is ready before spring ensure the pot stays warm (like in the house) through Autumn and Winter to ensure you don't lose your seedling before they establish themselves as plants.
• Keep the pot standing in water at all times so the seed/seedling don't dry out.
• Harvested 2025
