Identifying Coastal vs. Mountain Darlingtonia from Nursery Purchase

Likely Coastal Form

Plants from the open house labeled simply “Darlingtonia” in 2-inch pots, located among elevated plants near the house with live sphagnum moss, are almost certainly the coastal form.

Why It Matters

Coastal Darlingtonia tolerates warmer nights than the mountain form. If you have a hot spot for other plants and a cooler area, the coastal type is more flexible—but still appreciates cool root zones.
