Overview
Sarracenia purpurea subsp. venosa ‘Ewelina’ is a compact and vividly coloured North American pitcher plant cultivar prized for its richly veined red and green pitchers. Each trap forms a low rosette, flaring open to reveal intricate patterns and a glossy sheen that deepens with sunlight. The pitchers collect rainwater to form natural digestive pools, making this species both visually striking and functionally fascinating.
