Sarracenia leucophylla | Also known as: White pitcher plant, Sarracenia drummondii | Rating: votes| Print / Pdf
Bugs beware, there’s a new boss in your garden and it goes by the name of sarracenia leucophylla or white trumpet. Displaying upright, slender pitchers that are white on top and occasionally purple-veined, this plant doesn’t look threatening at all. However, insects, which are lured to it cannot escape and are digested within the pitcher. White trumpet produces reddish-purple flowers in spring and likes acidic sandy or loamy soils that have very good drainage but are kept moist. Make sure when watering this plant that there is no lime in the water. Ideally grown in a sunny area, white trumpet makes quite a statement in a bog garden and also grows in containers, serving as a striking feature for a courtyard garden or deck.
