Sarracenia × catesbaei Height and Self-Pollination Facts

S. × catesbaei typically reaches 6-8 inches. Height varies with parent clones: S. flava × S. purpurea venosa is standard; using S. rosea yields taller plants (e.g., cultivar 'Abandon Hope').

Sarracenia self-pollinate poorly—few seeds. Cross-pollination between different plants is best. Venus flytraps set decent seed from cross-pollinating flowers on the same plant.
