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.

Sarracenia flava var. flava, the Yellow Pitcher Plant, makes a bold upright clump of slender yellow-green trumpets, usually flushed with red around the throat and traced with variable red veining. The hooded pitchers lure and digest insects, creating a fascinating display for a sunny patio, carnivorous-plant bench or container bog. Nodding yellow flowers appear as growth resumes in Djilba–Kambarang (Spring), often before the fresh pitchers reach full height. Grow it outdoors in plenty of direct sun, using an acidic, nutrient-poor carnivorous-plant mix rather than ordinary potting mix. Keep the pot standing in 25–50 mm of rainwater, distilled water or reverse-osmosis water through active growth, and never let the mix dry out. During Perth’s hottest, driest weather, check the tray daily and provide afternoon protection if pitchers begin to scorch. Do not add fertiliser, as mineral salts can damage the roots. In Makuru (Winter) it naturally becomes dormant and old pitchers may brown. Keep the mix moist rather than deeply flooded, allow the cool rest, then remove fully dead growth before new shoots emerge.

Height 50–90 cm

Width In a container: limited by pot size; in a bog garden: 50–100 cm per established clump, expanding gradually by rhizomes.
