A Southern California grower (Zone 8a–9a) sees two flower stalks on their 2-year-old S. leucophylla × rubra ssp. alabamensis before any new pitchers appear. They worry the plant is stressed.
Two Flowers
Jeff Dallas: This is completely normal. Many species (S. leucophylla, S. flava) always flower before pitcher production. S. rubra flowers and pitchers emerge together; S. minor and S. psittacina flower later. Hybrids show mixed timing. The plant is healthy and on schedule for its location. Enjoy the scented red flowers!
