Sarracenia ‘Black Widow’ is a killer cultivar pitcher plant from the gardens of Phil Faulisi. It’s a primary hybrid between alata black throat x flava red (a rubicorpora) pitcher plants with 2.5 ft+ tall pitchers that start off a heavily veined red color, and turn a deep purple with age and bright light. The plant is very hearty, and I grow it outdoors in Southern California where it has withstood 115+ degree weather and little-to-no humidity. In a greenhouse, this thing would be a monster!
Plants for sale are mature and ship bare root. If purchased outside of dormancy, I may have to trim pitchers in order to fit them in shipping boxes.
I keep shipping simple by charging a $10 flat rate to the continental US regardless of how many plants you purchase from me.
Happy growing!

Awesome plant. I look forward to seeing it this spring. Well packed and arrived quickly. I believe it’s already begun to grow. Very nice rhizome.
