🌿 From My Personal Collection to Yours – Meet Sarracenia Maroon!
Sarracenia 'Maroon' first joined my collection from **Arafllora**, and let me tell you—it was love at first sight! This **stunning hybrid** is a cross between Sarracenia purpurea and Sarracenia rubra, giving it a **deep burgundy-red colour** that only intensifies in full sun. Unlike many other trumpet pitchers that go fully dormant, this beauty holds onto its pitchers well into winter, making it a **must-have for any carnivorous plant collection.**
Its **compact growth habit** means you get more pitchers per plant, and as a bonus, those pitchers last longer than most other Sarracenia. If you’re looking for a **bold, easy-to-grow, and truly eye-catching pitcher plant**, this is THE one!

Quick FAQ
Why Pargo and not PUDO?
We partner with Pargo because it’s part of our approved fragile-goods courier network. Parcels are kept indoors at local shops and businesses, protected from heat, sunlight and weather until collection — ideal if you prefer to collect at your convenience or aren’t home during the day.
To keep every order safe and uphold our Arrive-Alive Guarantee, we deliver only via Pargo and other approved delivery services trusted for handling fragile and temperature-sensitive items.
- 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
- Cultivo is a boutique-style store and 99% of what we sell are one-of-a-kind collector items, so you will receive the exact plant pictured. Some are once-off or limited releases, which means they are available only while stocks last. 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!
