Item Lore

The 'Stingray' pitcher plant is a complex hybrid developed from a lineage that includes four distinct *Sarracenia* species, resulting in its signature flared, wing-like lid. Collectors prize this cultivar for its striking architectural form and the way it blends the diverse traits of its parentage, such as the vibrant coloration of *S. leucophylla* and the hardy structure of *S. purpurea*.
