What’s in the Complete Purple Pitcher Plant Kit?

• A reusable growing container designed for easy germination
• Premixed germination soil (Carnivorous Seed Mix – ready to sow)
• Step-by-step instruction guide based on methods I use at Cultivo
• At least 10 open-pollinated Purple Pitcher Plant seeds, freshly harvested from the most recent season
• A small bottle of distilled water to get you started

Important Notes on Growing from Seed

• Seeds require cold stratification (4–8 weeks in the fridge) to break dormancy
• Germination can take 1–2 months after stratification, so patience is key
• Seeds are a random mix of open-pollinated varieties – even a trumpet pitcher hybrid might pop up!

Growing Timeline

• Germination: 4–8 weeks cold stratification + 1–2 months under warm conditions
• Time to maturity: These are slow growers – expect a few years to reach flowering size

Growing Sarracenia from seed is a slow and rewarding journey. You’ll watch your seedlings transform into striking insect-catching plants with bold colours and patterns over time – and all from seed you sowed yourself!

• Just a quick heads-up: Since plants are natural products, you might notice some slight variations when unboxing your plants
• We do our best to make sure the plants you receive look like the ones in the photos, but keep in mind that seasons change and plants grow. Some leaves might age and die off, new ones might sprout and the plants may look a bit different over time
• 99% of what we sell are one-of-a-kind collector items, so you will receive the exact plant pictured. The labels are spot on, so even if the plant looks a bit different, we 100% guarantee it's the real deal
• Also, all the photos you see are of our own plants unless we mention otherwise. We update images occasionally to keep things fresh. If you want to see updated pictures before you buy, just let us know – we're happy to help!
