Sarracenia leucophylla is a carnivorous plant of the genus Sarracenia that lives in the humid meadows of the Southeastern United States, namely Alabama, Florida, Georgia, and Missouri.
It produces slender, bulbous pitchers only in the upper part. Their color is white, often adorned with green or purple veins, or sometimes absent, as in the alba varieties.
In spring, leucophylla produces modest-sized pitchers, often narrow and slender, which can barely support themselves; it can also produce phyllodia in spring, which are flat leaves not open in the characteristic tubular shape. They are at their best from September onwards, when they produce truly majestic and very colorful pitchers from the rhizome compared to the meager and faded spring ones.
Furthermore, the nectar of leucophylla is the best I have ever observed in the Sarracenia genus; it truly attracts many autumn insects, including stink bugs.
The flower of Sarracenia leucophylla is very tall and has large red petals. Some Sarracenia leucophylla show introgression with Sarracenia alata, and the flower can have a white or greenish color.
