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 × willisii is a compact, richly coloured Pitcher Plant with hooded traps arranged in a spreading to semi-upright rosette. The pitchers can vary from green with prominent red veins to deep crimson in strong light, making every seed-grown plant a little different. Each pitcher is a working pitfall trap, attracting insects to its rim before they slip inside. Mature plants may also send up curious, nodding flowers in Djilba–Kambarang (Spring), held above the foliage. Grow it outdoors with plenty of direct sun. Use an unfertilised carnivorous-plant mix such as sphagnum peat with perlite or thoroughly washed sand, never ordinary potting mix. During active growth, stand the pot in 2.5–5 cm of rainwater, reverse-osmosis or distilled water, keeping the tray topped up through Perth’s hot, dry weather. In Makuru (Winter), growth slows and older pitchers may brown as the plant rests; keep the mix moist rather than deeply flooded and trim only dead growth. Do not add fertiliser, as the plant obtains nutrients from captured insects.
Height 20–40 cm
Width 20–30 cm per rosette; spreads further through rhizomes
