Product Information
We do our best to ensure product descriptions, specifications, care information and other details are accurate and up to date. Information is provided as a general guide and may vary between batches, suppliers, individual plants or product revisions.

Stock availability
Website stock levels update live from our inventory system, but occasional discrepancies can occur due to in-store sales, damage or stock adjustments. This is more likely when only 1 or 2 units are showing as available.

Product images
Images are provided as a visual guide and may not show the exact individual item for sale. Plants can naturally vary in size, fullness, colour, shape and stage of growth, and images may show a mature specimen to demonstrate how a younger plant may develop.

Images are either owned by Kambarang Garden Centre, used under an appropriate licence or with permission, or created with AI assistance. AI imagery is used to improve the background of existing photos, and to provide representative images where a suitable real-world photo is difficult or impractical to obtain, particularly for mature plants. Special care is taken to preserve the genuine appearance, colour, form, foliage, flowers and growth habit as accurately as current AI image technology allows.

Plant sizing
Plant sizes refer to the pot size, not the exact size of the plant. For example:

100 mm = 10 cm diameter pot
140 mm = 14 cm diameter pot
5 L = 5 litre pot

Smaller pot sizes generally indicate younger plants, although actual plant size can vary significantly between species, varieties and growth habits.

The Exornata Pitcher Plant forms a striking clump of stout, upright insect-catching pitchers that combine the traits of Sarracenia alata and Sarracenia purpurea. Pitchers vary between seedlings, but are typically green to red with prominent burgundy veining and broad, ruffled hoods, often developing richer colour in strong light. Mature plants may also produce unusual nodding, dark red flowers above the pitchers during Djilba–Kambarang (Spring). Grow it outdoors in a sunny position, with some protection from Perth’s fiercest afternoon sun during Birak–Bunuru (Summer). Use an acidic, nutrient-poor carnivorous-plant mix and rainwater, distilled water or reverse-osmosis water, as mineral-rich water and ordinary fertiliser can damage the roots. Keep the pot standing in a shallow tray of water while actively growing, then keep the mix moist rather than deeply flooded during its Makuru (Winter) dormancy. Older pitchers naturally brown and can be trimmed away as fresh growth returns.

Height 30–40 cm; flower stems may rise above the pitchers.

Width 30–50 cm per clump; expands through short rhizomes.
