You will receive a live healthy Sarracenia Purpurea Burkii Pitcher Plant. Purpurea Burkii is the gulf coast form of Sarracenia Purpurea. It makes short pink flowers in the Spring instead of tall purple flowers like the other forms of Purpurea make. It also tans more of a pink to dark pink in strong sun as opposed to blood red like most other forms of Purpurea. It comes with a 4 inch net pot, just like the one in the picture, moss appropriate for carnivorous plant soil loosely packed, and a detailed caresheet explaining how to take care of Pitcher Plants. All you will need is a bowl or saucer to hold the Pitcher Plant's pot that it comes with and a little bit of water, a gallon or so of reverse osmosis or distilled water, and a sunny window or a place in the yard to put your Pitcher Plant in. Humidity domes and year round warm weather is not necessary.

Pretty Lil Purple Pitcher Plant!
I was so excited for this plant! After living in NC and seeing them in the wild, I just knew I had to have one of these beautiful carnivorous plants for my collection. The plant came in about a week ago, and the packaging was just perfect for it to make it to me healthy and without damage! There was a minor issue since my plant didn't come with the care sheet, but Joel responded quickly and sent me the care sheet within an hour or two of contact. The important step for initial care was to soak the moss before planting the pitcher plants in it, which I hadn't done correctly at first, but now everything has been figured out and the plant doesn't look like it was negatively effected by my initial blunder since the root didn't dry out.I'll update if anything goes downhill from here, but everything seems good and I'm pretty happy with my purchase! I have been keeping the plant in my house thus far, since it is still freezing here, but I plan to put it outside once summer comes so it can catch prey!

Day of the Triffids
After purchasing some Venus Fly Traps from Joel, I thought I would try some Burkii. The package was shipped out very promptly, and arrived in 95 degree weather with no heat stress or problems. Packaged very much the same as the Traps, the plant is wrapped in moss in a ziplock bag. It also contained a pot and dry moss. The detailed instructions are very easy to read and all that's required is distiller water, a water tray and a sunny windowsill! All the details takes the stress out of setting it all up. I've had a few questions that Joel answered very quickly. Ok, now to the Burkii! After removing from the bag I could see how great this plant is! Very colorful, it also had little ones growing from the center. After sitting on my windowsill, it perked up even more and looks very exotic, if not very alien looking! My friend also commented on how it looked like The Day of the Triffids! By selecting these from Joel you are guaranteed excellent service and plants. I've just ordered 4 different plants to add to my collection, which is becoming very addictive.

AWESOME!
Joel is very attentive and GREAT at answering all of my questions! I ordered a Venus flytrap a few months ago, she eats tons of flies and is currently flowering!I recently ordered a Pitcher plant and there was an error with the shipment (not his fault) and he immediately sent me another one without me having to ask, I am currently nursing the one that was stuck in transit for an extra week back to health. All of my plants are thriving and arrived beautifully.This is the BEST place to order carnivorous plants!

My daughter was conducting a science fair project about two types of Carnivorous Plants- the Venus Fly Trap and Pitcher Plant. We order both of these plants from Joel and both came quickly and in pristine condition. The information pages and Venus Fly Trap video allowed my daughter to successful pot both plants and gave her all the information needed to take very good care of the plants. Both plants are very beautiful and interesting to look at. I cannot wait to see them in action. Overall, JOEL is the real deal and knows his carnivorous plants. I would order from him again. My daughter may chose to turn her science fair project into a hobby. Thanks again JOEL!

Beautiful Purple Pitcher!
This plant was much larger than I expected and looking wonderful as it was packaged very well.. I've had this plant for at least a month now and it is going strong. The instructions are detailed and if followed correctly the plant will do great. I did email the seller with a question and received a prompt response. This is the 2nd plant I have purchased from this seller and would certainly buy from again. Very happy customer.

Healthy plants, well-packed!
This is the second time I've bought a carniverous plant from JoelsCarnivorousPlants. Both were healthy and well-packaged. Both have done well. The plant came with ample peat moss and clear instructions. Carnivorous plants have special needs so if you haven't had carnivorous plants you will find the instructions invaluable.
