10 CARNIVOROUS PALE PITCHER PLANT (Pale Trumpet) Sarracenia Alata Flower Seeds BLOOM TIME: Mid Summer HARDINESS ZONE: 7 - 9 (and 5 - 6 with heavy mulch) PLANT HEIGHT: 24 - 36" . . . PLANT SPACING: 12 - 15" LIGHT REQUIREMENTS: Sun - Part Shade . . . SOIL / WATER: Moist - Bog The Pale Pitcher Plant is yellow and green, and red at the end of summer. Its carnivorous! The leaves of this plant form into pitchers. The inner surface of the leaves are covered in fine downward-pointing hairs, so once an insect gets into the pitcher, it cannot climb back out. The insects become trapped, and are digested by the plant giving it vital nutrients. Simple but effective, and it is quite wicked looking!
