Victor (MA) has S. leucophylla with 6 beautiful fall pitchers. Two browning at lid tips/edges. Recalls podcast saying they hold into winter.

Browning now is typical. Varies by plant. Plants should be dormant; pitchers decline slowly over winter. New growth in April.

S. leucophylla pitcher browning in late fall is normal seasonal senescence. Don't worry—new pitchers arrive spring.
