Sarracenia flava var. atropurpurea F28P Srba

Sarracenia flava var. atropurpurea is a carnivorous plant that grows in the marshy areas of the coastal plain of the southeastern United States, North Carolina and from Alabama to Virginia.
It is certainly one of the largest of the Sarracenia genus, reaching heights between 60 and 80 cm.
The traps have a very solid structure and start out slim and then open into a very wide mouth.
The color of the leaves is very bright red, including the cap. When repotted, it struggles to color in the first year of growth.
The flower has very large yellow petals.
The most beautiful traps are produced in spring while during the summer it mainly produces phyllodia which are flat and non-carnivorous leaves with the sole purpose of increasing photosynthesis especially in winter when the traps full of insects will have fallen.
