Sarracenia alata 'Night'

Stone Co, MS. An all red clone selected by Tom Cahill and described in 2006. Very rare in cultivation. It was a seed grown plant selected from many individuals that displayed consistent strong red colors and extreme vigor. You can't tell from the picture, but the pitchers are almost a meter tall, and they can probably get bigger! Under my conditions, the color will become more intense as the fall approaches.
