This amazing and very vigorous selection of the white-topped pitcher plant was discovered by Coleman Tarnok in Baldwin County, Alabama, and later propagated by the Atlanta Botanical Garden. While the red-veined, white-topped pitchers look normal (as much as any pitcher plant looks normal), the alien-like flowers boast an extraordinary double set of sepals. In flower, Sarracenia 'Tarnok' is truly something worth inviting the garden club over to see. Royalties from each plant sold go to the endangered plant conservation program at the Atlanta Botanical Garden.
