var rugelii, Very Tall

We finally have some sales plants of this amazing giant S. flava var rugelii which is always admired when I use it on my display. It produces elegant, fluted pitchers up to 3 feet in height (though it takes 2-3 years to get to this size), with a good strong rugelii 'splotch' in the throat. Special and limited!

£13.00

var atropurpurea, Blackwater, Florida

The stunning and rare variety atropurpurea, which goes a solid red in high light levels. Can be a challenge to colour solidly in grey Britain, but a stunning and choice plant. Small divisions, typically to 12 inches in height in their first year.

£13.50

var ornata, Wewahatchika, Florida

Without doubt the best example of var ornata I have to offer, this clone produces extremely heavy veining which as you can see from the photo becomes a deep suffusion by late summer. Very special!

£15.00

cv. ‘Maxima’ – Giant ‘selfed’ plant with copper top

Originally a self from Slacks' giant cultivar, this plant attains the same dimensions as the parent plant, but it has a copper top to the pitchers. And we thought it couldn't get any better!

£16.00

cv. ‘Maxima’ – Giant clone to 3 feet in height

Adrian Slacks' original giant clone selection from the 1970's. Still, after all these years, one of the best-3 feet lemon yellow pitchers in the summer, and winter leaves with a distinct blue shade to them-STUNNING!!!
