Carolina Yellow Jacket is a cultivar, Sarracenia purpurea x rosea x flava with dazzling chartreuse pitchers. It is a compact and low growing pitcher plant that produces many of its characteristic "golden" pitchers. The hoods of the traps point upward with ruffled margins, resembling perhaps an elf's slipper. It does well in the sun and shade, and remains compact in size. The traps darken with a nice copper hue and present a very colorful grouping. The pitchers often last for 2 years. The flowers are reddish-orange, and fragrant. They generally bloom from March to May before new pitchers fully develop. Yellow Jacket is an excellent addition to the front of your bog garden or in your collection. It is uniquely spectacular and will grow in northern zones with protection. Carolina Yellow Jacket is an officially registered cultivar developed by David Crump.

Plants are shipped bare-root, wrapped in damp sphagnum moss. In it's dormant season, it will be shipped as a dormant rhizome with trimmed off pitchers. Photographs are representative of the cultivar, and not the specific plant shipped.

Alive and healthy

I’m no expert on Sarracenia, but I’m pretty experienced with plants in general. My Yellow Jacket shows no apparent signs of rot, infection, or dehydration that I can detect and seems quite healthy. There isn’t much in the way of vegetation right now, but that was to be expected. I’m hoping to see some new growth soon, it should be striking against the red moss!

Carefully Shipped

The Sarracenia x Yellow Jacket along with the other plants was shipped quickly and carefully. The plants are small but the instructions and resources are worth it. Definitely helpful when getting started!

Serracenia x Yellow Jacket

Arrived today packaged great and in good condition. I planted it right away and am anxious to see it grow. Very happy with my plant purchases from Carnivorous Plant Nursery. Also ordered a Copper Top Pitcher Plant and an Early Butterwort. All plants looked great.
