Sarracenia leucophylla var. alba SL08 Klein

Very famous leucophylla among the whitest in the collection, the veins disappear completely leaving a total pure white color in the upper part of the trap. The whiteness is greater if grown with many hours of direct sun.

It produces slender, bulbous ascidians only at the top. Their color is white, often adorned with green, purple veins or sometimes they are absent as in the alba varieties.

In spring the leucophylla produces ascidians of modest dimensions, often narrow and slender which struggle to hold themselves up, they can also produce phyllodia, also in spring, i.e. flat and unopened leaves in the characteristic tubular shape. They give their best from September onwards, when they produce truly majestic and very colorful ascidians from the rhizome compared to the gaunt and faded spring ones.
Furthermore, the nectar of the leucophylla is the best I have ever observed in the sarracenia genus, it really attracts many autumn insects, including bugs.
The flower of the sarracenia leucophylla is very tall and with large red petals. Some sarracenia leucophylla have introgressions with winged sarracenia and the flower can have a white, greenish color
