Sarracenia 'Daniel Rudd'

Sarracenia ‘Daniel Rudd’ is a well-known carnivorous pitcher plant cultivar, selected for its tall, strongly coloured pitchers and bold veining. The pitchers typically display warm red, copper, and golden tones, with flared lids marked by intricate red patterning.

This cultivar produces upright pitchers with good substance and reliable form, making it an attractive and robust plant for both beginners and experienced growers. As with all Sarracenia, colour intensity and pitcher size will vary depending on light levels, temperature, and seasonal growth.

Key Characteristics

• Pitcher colour: Red, copper, and golden tones with strong veining
• Pitcher height: Medium to tall
• Growth habit: Upright, clumping pitcher plant
• Seasonal growth: Active spring–summer, winter dormancy required
• Difficulty: Easy with correct growing conditions

Growing Conditions

• Light: Full sun to very bright light for best colour and pitcher development
• Water: Rainwater, distilled, or reverse-osmosis water only
• Soil: Carnivorous plant mix (peat with sand or perlite)
• Humidity: Average to high
• Climate: Temperate – requires a winter dormancy period

Winter dormancy is essential for long-term health. During cooler months, pitchers may die back and growth slows before producing fresh growth in spring.
