Beautiful ground-hugging pitchers up to 2" tall like little hairy moccasins
make this a worthy addition to any collection. In full sun, the whole plant
becomes suffused with a rich burgundy colour, the lids and peristomes streaked
with white. Pointed, non-carnivorous leaves are also formed, especially
in the Autumn.
Cultivation:
Thrives in a sand and peat mixture with a little added perlite or vermiculite,
but appreciates occasional drying of the water tray. Half hardy, but best
treated as a houseplant on a sunny windowsill or cool greenhouse in the
winter.
