Adult Hot Pink Pitcher Plant (Sarracenia x Juthatip Soper)

Juthatip Soper boasts mesmerizing deep purple pitchers adorned with a ruffled hood and a robust lip. While it consistently produces stunning pitchers throughout the growing season, its true splendor emerges in late summer and early fall when its colors reach their peak intensity. To preserve its vibrant hues, ensure this plant receives ample sunlight.

Cultivating this plant is a straightforward endeavor, making it an excellent choice for gardeners of all levels. It is recommended to allow it to go dormant when the season dictates. Originating from the wet pocosins of northern Florida and southern Alabama, this hybrid is well-suited for Zones 6 to 8 (5-9).

Sarracenia ‘Juthatip Soper’ is a striking hot pink hybrid of Sarracenia x mitchelliana, showcasing alluring red and pink traps. These traps stand tall at a medium height and display a greenish base, but their defining features are the broad red and purple veins, along with pink areoles (windows), creating a vibrant and captivating appearance. The hoods are wide and ruffled, while the lip is deep red. As colder weather approaches, the traps take on a suffused deep red or maroon hue. They regularly produce divisions and form impressive colonies. Much like other S. leucophylla hybrids, it presents a lovely display of Spring pitchers and an even more vigorous show of Fall pitchers.

‘S. Juthatip Soper’ thrives in open, sunny, and boggy conditions, maintaining its color even in frosty weather. The dark red flowers, which emit a fragrant aroma, bloom early in the Spring before new traps fully emerge. This hybrid makes an exceptional addition to a bog garden and is particularly eye-catching when planted in larger quantities. For those in Canada and regions with harsh winters, it can thrive with appropriate winter protection. Notably, this hybrid is registered with the International Carnivorous Plant Society (ICPS) and originates from Hants Flytrap in the United Kingdom.
