Sarracenia x excellens is a natural hybrid of the white topped Sarracenia leucophylla and the hooded Sarracenia minor. The result is a fascinating pitcher plant with large red hoods, striped white, and a white spotted neck that's not caused by a skin rash. The spring borne flowers are usually an attractive green with red petals. Our offerings are all nursery seed grown, and as such vary with the amount of coloration in each seedling.
