SARRACENIA

At Chelsea last year I was talking to a chap about the Sarracenia. He was an ex-pat living in France, and kept bees. Last year his hives were attacked by the ASIAN HORNETS, and it was recommended he try a few Sarracenia plants to fight back, as it were. Imagine his surprise, and this is anecdotal as I've no first hand evidence, but they worked. My recommendation would be Sarracenia flava, leucophylla, and alata. I'd be delighted to hear any feedback of these plants helping outside, or in the greenhouse/conservatory.
