Sarracenia x excellens

Absolutely love my Sarracenia! Package perfectly, no damage at all to the plants. Will buy again from seller!!

I had ordered a medium sized plant and I got a much bigger pitcher than expected. Almost a foot tall, and I was pretty excited! It only had one pitcher, but it looks like another is growing in. A few days on and it’s taken well to being potted and captured plenty of flies. It’s surprisingly effective even with just one pitcher! Also an extra 5/5 for the care in packing it. The single pitcher coming out of the rhizome looks so fragile and yet it arrived in one piece in perfect health.

I purchased the small size and received a healthy little rhizome with one pitcher. The pitcher got a little bent in shipping but is still standing strong and has even caught a couple fruit flies. Very cute. I love it.

I have owned several different Sarracenia plants. This is my first S. X excellens, with the typical "X" tipping of the hood. Colors are beautiful, bold and typical for S. leucophylla. My plant came with two large (tall) pitchers. However, one was dying with the upper end dark, dry, and somewhat crushed. Actually I was crushed to see the loss of this giant plant. I am intrigued by the excellens plant, its size and appearance. I look forward to watching hornets, wasps and bees crawl under the lid and slip in. The survivor is the sole excellens among 40-plus other carnivorous plants. Except for the loss of the second plant--likely from the trip from Maryland--this would have been a 5-plus star purchase.

Arrived intact viva Las Vegas.
