Important Notes on Purple Pitcher Plant Seeds
- These seeds require a cold-stratification period of 4–8 weeks after sowing to break dormancy and initiate germination
- Germination can take 1–2 months after stratification is completed, so patience is key!
- The seeds in this kit are a random mix of open-pollinated varieties and hybrids with trumpet pitchers may be possible
What to Expect:
- Germination time: 4–8 weeks of cold stratification, followed by 1–2 months for germination under suitable conditions
- Time to maturity: Several years to reach flowering size due to the species’ dormancy and slow growth cycle
