Sarracenia x (leucophylla Purple Lips x Mesa Exotics) x purpurea ssp. venosa Tattnall Co GA #2 (Shipped Bare-Root)

Sarracenia x (leucophylla Purple Lips x Mesa Exotics) x purpurea ssp. venosa Tattnall Co GA #2 (Shipped Bare-Root)This rare cross was bred by Phil Faulisi, combining S. leucophylla Purple Lips x Mesa Exotics to produce large, vigorous pitchers with purple hued lips. Faulisis seed was then sent to Kirk Simpson, who grew the cross out and completed the selection process. The third parent is S. purpurea ssp. venosa from Tattnall County, Georgia, one of the southernmost known populations of the subspecies. That venosa lineage brings the compact tubby form, undulating
