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.

Description

Sarracenia flava in this claret-coloured form makes a dramatic upright clump of trumpet pitchers, flushed and veined in wine red against yellow-green. The flared mouths and broad, hooded lids are handsome in their own right, while nectar around the rim lures insects into the slippery tubes. It is an excellent feature for a sunny patio bog pot, where the tall pitchers are easy to appreciate. Mature plants may produce nodding yellow flowers in Djilba–Kambarang (Spring), often before the main flush of pitchers. Grow it outdoors in strong light for sturdy growth and rich colour, with some protection from Perth’s fiercest afternoon heat if the site is exposed or reflective. Use an acidic carnivorous-plant mix and low-mineral water such as rainwater, distilled water or reverse-osmosis water. During active growth, stand the pot in a tray holding about 25–50 mm of water and never let the mix dry out. Avoid ordinary potting mix and fertiliser. In Makuru (Winter), let it rest naturally, keeping the mix moist rather than deeply flooded and trimming only fully dead pitchers.
Height 60–90 cm
Width 45–90 cm per mature clump; expands through short rhizomes
