Add To Cart'Copper Top' is a vigorous, upright pitcher plant with distinctive amber coloration on the hood and neck of each pitcher. In spring, chartreuse-yellow flowers appear before the pitchers emerge, adding an early burst of color. Its striking coloration and robust growth make it a standout choice for bog gardens and plant collections.
Growing Tips for Sarracenia flava ''Copper Top''
Grow with consistent sub-irrigation and avoid overhead watering. When planting in the garden, use a container submerged in the soil with drainage holes drilled 1–2" above the bottom. Fill with peat moss to maintain acidity and moisture, then mulch with pine needles to conceal the container. Keep constantly moist and use a peat-based mix or bog-like soil; regular potting soil and fertilizer can harm the plant.
