Pitcher Plants

North American pitcher plants are the easiest to grow, largest, most beautiful bug-eating plants.  Because they are native to the Southeast United States, most varieties are cold-hardy to zero degrees Fahrenheit.  You can grow them in a dish garden with sundew and venus flytrap or add them to your landscape in a BOG GARDEN or water feature.

Check out the PURCHASE page for the current availability list of pitcher plants.   They’re $10-$25 depending on age.  joshlynchplants@gmail.com
