Sarracenia 'Liquorice Lips'Sarracenia 'Liquorice Lips' is a rare and distinct cultivar, highly prized by collectors. Its origins trace back to a batch of seedlings at PJ Plants. The specific plant that became 'Liquorice Lips' was selected and grown on by Ian Salter, from whom all current divisions originate. This pitcher plant is notably compact, reaching a mature height of only 35 to 45 centimetres. Its form consists of upright pitchers topped with elegant, overarching hoods.
