Sarracenia flava Red Tube United States Hybrid Thanks to plantsman Roy KlehmThis cool form of the popular Sarracenia flava has all of the attributes that makes the species such a wonderful garden plant. In addition, the tube of the pitcher has a bright red overlay in spring and early summer. A mature clump of these is a real stunner both to humans as well as insects that decide to use these as swimming pools.
