| Sarracenia leucophylla is native to North Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, and Florida. Hybrids containing any part of Sarracenia leucophylla have failed to perform well in our artificial bog structure. Most simply die. A few struggle on for several years, but look dreadful. My hunch is that Sarracenia leucophylla produce hybrids that are unsuitable for our artificial environment or climate. | |
