One pitcher plant blooming for the first time in three years. Will it self-pollinate? How to collect seed?
You need two flowers. Sarracenia are largely self-incompatible. One flower = very few viable seeds, if any. For reliable seed, you need two genetically distinct plants flowering simultaneously.
Reference: Sarracenia Seed Propagation Guide
If you get a second plant blooming, hand-pollinate daily from flower opening to petal fall. Store pollen on wax paper in fridge for up to several weeks.
