5 Seeds Yellow Trumpet Pitcher Plant Sarracenia alata atrorubra Carnivorous

Sarracenia alata atrorubra, commonly known as the Yellow Trumpet Pitcher Plant, is a striking carnivorous perennial prized for its tall, upright pitchers and deep reddish-purple veining against yellow-green tones. This southeastern US native brings dramatic architecture and color to bog gardens, container water features, and collector terrariums, developing dense clumps over time.

Its tall, trumpet-shaped pitchers emerge in spring and mature through summer, creating a bold vertical accent in sunny, consistently moist settings. Ideal for bog plantings, patio containers, or greenhouse collections, it pairs beautifully with other moisture-loving ornamentals and rewards growers with reliable seasonal growth.
