Description
A hardy carnivorous plant that puts on a dramatic color show in the garden while feasting on flies, ants and other insects, ‘Juthatip Soper’ Pitcher Plant features upright tubes with stained glass-like pink or white traps (tops) and ruffled hoods that turn to deep red or maroon with bright pink windows when cooler temperatures begin to arrive in fall. In spring, fragrant dark red nodding flowers rise above the foliage that are equally as exotic looking as the tubes. In USDA Zones 6a-8b, this Pitcher Plant will spread gradually to form small colonies outdoors in sunny sites with boggy soils and can also be grown as a houseplant indoors in pots in a well-lit space.
Landscape & Garden Uses
Growing 8 to 12 inches tall and forming a small colony up to 18 inches wide, Juthatip Soper Pitcher Plant is ideal for use in sunny sites with a boggy soil or in containers that can be kept indoors or outdoors. This is an outstanding accent plant for the bog garden. Very nice as a solo in containers or to provide texture and color in combination container bog gardens.
Suggested Spacing: 12 to 15 inches apart for mass plantings or solid border edging; 24 inches or more apart for space between plants
Note: For our customers who live and garden north of USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 6a, where this Pitcher Plant variety is not reliably winter hardy, you’ll be happy to know it can be grown in containers that can be brought indoors during winter and placed back outside when temperatures warm up in spring.
Growing Preferences
This Pitcher Plant is very easy to grow in most any consistently moist soil of average fertility full to mostly sun. It prefers an acid soil ranging from 4.0 to 5.0 on the pH scale. Virtually maintenance free, we rarely fertilize it. In areas that experience colder winters the foliage may need to be groomed or cut back before new growth emerges in spring.
Plant Long & Prosper!
