Sarracenia 'Rita Soper'

Grow outdoors in frost-free areas, in humus-rich, moist, but well drained acidic soil in full sun. In colder areas, grow under glass, or in containers that can be moved into a cool greenhouse in winter. Grow in a lime-free potting mix, of composted bark mixed with horticultural grit and perlite or sharp sand. Position in full light and stand in a tray of rainwater during the growing season.
