The flowers have showy pink petals with white, red and yellow centers. They flower in late Summer, and attract butterflies and other insects. The green leaves are lance shaped with toothed margins on tall stems. It prefers consistenty damp, but not saturated, peaty, sandy, acidic soils, in full Sun. It is a moderate grower and spreads nicely from persistent rhizome clusters, but is a poor competitor with other plants. Bog Sabatia is a member of the Gentian Family. It presents a remarkable display among Pitcher Plants.
