Sarracenia leucophylla var alba Potted
Sarracenia leucophylla var alba signifies pitchers that are nearly pure white in the upper pitcher and lid! These are some of the most highly prized and sought after of the Sarracenia because of their luminous beauty! Large pitchers with lacey lids open on stately, tall white pitchers! This is a beautiful green and white clone produced in Europe.

Customer Reviews
only one of the fronds is really healthy , somewhat disappointed.
I just received my order and love all the plants. They were packaged well, arrived in a timely fashion, and are healthy. The sundews will perk up and produce dew in the sun outside. The only thing I am disappointed about is that my sarccenia var alba only has one pitcher. It should have more for what I paid for it...
This plant arrived in amazing condition and packages very safely. Im very in love with the color and its one of the first pitcher plants i get thats this big around 9inches tall. New pitchers are starting to for as well and so many flies have already been caught! Cant wait for the mew pitchers to be fully grown. Just amazing !
What an interesting plant recently received from California Carnivores. In fact,
I have two. Received on time, in great health, repotted in a taller pot (to account for a consistent water level for all plants, especially in case of heavy rain. Each has already produced three new pitchers. I have many green-white plants, i.e., S. Green, Schnell's Ghost and Hurricane Creek (Adrian Slack) and Green Monster. The "alba" from California Carnivores has more pure white than even the Ghosts.
My first experience with these plants. Exciting,
This is my first attempt with growing these interesting and magical plants. I watched your many videos and set up a small bog container. Enjoying and have ordered more!
