Sarracenia leucophylla 'Fiona' is an elegant and highly sought-after cultivar of the white-topped pitcher plant, admired for its tall, slender pitchers and delicately veined white hoods. This refined North American native displays exceptional beauty throughout the growing season, with a particularly strong flush of tall autumn pitchers. 'Fiona' is prized by collectors for its graceful structure and high-contrast coloration, making it a show-stopping addition to any carnivorous plant collection.

Key Features:

Pitcher Design:
Produces tall, upright pitchers that can reach 20–40 cm (8–16 inches) at maturity. The tubes are slender and flute-shaped, topped with a wide, ruffled hood that elegantly overhangs the opening.

Coloration:
The hood is bright white, intricately overlaid with deep red to maroon veining, creating a lacy effect that practically glows in sunlight. The tube itself is green to pinkish-red depending on light levels, becoming more intense through the growing season.

Cultivar Distinction:
‘Fiona’ is known for producing a flush of spectacular late-season pitchers and for maintaining a strong vertical form. It’s a favorite among collectors for both display and breeding purposes due to its consistency and vigor.

Plant Size & Packaging:

Each juvenile Sarracenia leucophylla 'Fiona' is a minimum of 2 cm tall, housed in a clear 5 x 7 cm grow cup, planted in a suitable carnivorous plant mix. These young plants are well-rooted and ready to grow under the right conditions.

Care Instructions:

Light:
Requires full sun—at least 6–8 hours daily—to promote strong growth and develop its vivid coloration.

Water:
Use only rainwater, distilled, or reverse osmosis water. Keep soil consistently moist. Avoid all forms of tap or mineral water, which can harm the plant.

Soil:
Thrives in nutrient-poor, acidic conditions. Use a mix of sphagnum moss and perlite or silica sand. Never fertilize.

Humidity:
Performs best in moderate to high humidity. Ideal for outdoor bog gardens, sunny balconies, or well-lit greenhouses.

Dormancy:
This species requires a cool winter dormancy period. Expect pitchers to brown and die back as the plant conserves energy for spring. Resume active care as temperatures warm.
