{"product_id":"catesbys-pitcher-plant-72-cell-plug-tray","title":"Catesby's Pitcher Plant - 72-Cell Plug Tray","description":"\u003cp\u003eCatesby's pitcher plant is a natural hybrid of the purple and yellow pitcher plants, and it shows traits of both. Its broad, sturdy pitchers end in wide, flared hoods marked with red veins and hints of copper on the back, and they stay colorful all season.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn early spring, before the pitchers grow, it sends up nodding flowers that open deep burgundy red and slowly turn chartreuse. It is a hardy, compact carnivorous plant for bog gardens, wet containers and pond edges in full sun.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat it looks like\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBroad, sturdy, trumpet-shaped pitchers 8 to 10 inches tall, green to yellow-green at the base, widening to a large, flared, wavy hood covered in a network of red veins with coppery tones on the back. Pitchers lean slightly outward in a rosette-like clump. In spring, nodding flowers about 2 inches across open deep burgundy red and age to chartreuse, each on a single stem above the pitchers. There are no ordinary leaves; the pitchers are the foliage. The clump is 8 to 10 inches tall and wide.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eGrowing it with lavender\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePitcher plants need a constantly wet, acidic bog, the opposite of lavender's dry, lean ground, so give them their own bog garden, a lined container or the edge of a pond in full sun.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eGrow in full sun in a constantly wet, low-nutrient mix of peat moss and sand, such as a lined bog bed or a container sitting in a tray of water. Use rainwater or distilled water and never fertilize or use regular potting soil. Hardy in zones 5-9; trim away old, browned pitchers in early spring.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sarracenia × catesbaei\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlower color:\u003c\/strong\u003e Deep burgundy red aging to chartreuse\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFoliage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yellow-green with red veining and copper tones\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Compact clump of flared pitchers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMature size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8–10 in tall × 8–10 in wide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUSDA hardiness zones:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5–9\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight:\u003c\/strong\u003e full sun\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBloom start:\u003c\/strong\u003e Late-April\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePeak bloom:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mid-May\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBloom pattern:\u003c\/strong\u003e Single Flush\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDeer resistance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Resistant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePollinator value:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fair\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSizes and shipping\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne full 72-cell plug tray: 72 young starter plugs of this variety (cells about 1⅓ in. wide × 2½ in. deep), rooted and ready to pot up into quarts or gallons.
