Sarracenia purpurea ssp. venosa — Purple Pitcher Plant

Sarracenia purpurea ssp. venosa, often called the Purple Pitcher Plant, is one of the hardiest and most fascinating carnivorous plants you can grow. Native to North America, it forms low rosettes of chunky purple-green pitchers that fill with rainwater. Insects are lured inside, where they eventually break down and provide nutrients for the plant.

Unlike the tall trumpet-shaped Sarracenia species, this one stays compact and spreads slowly over time, forming a lovely clump. The pitchers often develop rich red tones in bright light, making it as ornamental as it is unusual.

Light
Full sun is best. Outdoors in a sunny spot is ideal, though a very bright windowsill can also work. The more light it receives, the deeper the colouration of the pitchers.

Watering
As a bog plant, it likes consistently wet soil. Sit the pot in a shallow tray of rainwater or distilled water and keep the soil moist at all times. Avoid tap water where possible, as minerals can build up in the soil.

Temperature
Very hardy and tolerant of cold temperatures. It’s well suited to outdoor bog planters and can handle UK winters if kept wet.

Potting
Carnivorous plants need nutrient-poor soil. Use a carnivorous mix or a plain sphagnum moss. Avoid standard houseplant compost and never fertilise.

Hot Tips
If grown outdoors, the pitchers will naturally fill with rainwater — which helps the plant digest its prey. Don’t empty them! This species also produces beautiful nodding burgundy flowers in spring when mature.

Pet Safety
Not considered toxic to pets, but the pitchers can be easily damaged if played with or chewed.

Don’t recommend
Size: Medium, Color: Black
Got this as a last minute shirt for an event and it was roughly $12 on sale. The quality was ok, first wear was fine but it doesn’t hold up after washing and air drying. I don’t recommend unless only wearing once, there was a lot of shedding and pilling after the first wear. I’m rough 5 ft tall and about 140 lbs. and I got a M and it sat around my hips so unless your on the tall side this wouldn’t fit.

Buy it
If you're looking for a comfortable thick and nice turtle neck this is the one. It's nice and form fitting nice weight to it to keep you warm. But not to thick that you cant just wear it on a regular sunny day if you wanted. The design pattern Is also very nice. Can dress it up or down. I bought the black and then immediately bought the rust orange color for my friend once he tried on mine he wanted one immediately so I gifted him one. He loves it. Definitely worth the buy. Excellent quality. I bought a Large 5"11 165lbs
