Do you guys find growing Sarracenia in trays better than not? I used to, but some growers have convinced me to grow them on the drier side. Apparently it reduces rot. I noticed some of you live out west where it's drier. I live in south Florida. Maybe these are factors.
I'll let Noah address the S. rosea flap, but DNA studies show a strong genetic difference between S. purpurea ssp. venosa var. burkii and the other S. purpurea.
See the article by Noah Elhardt on S. rosea in the NASC newsletter.
Admit it, it's a different plant. Notice the flower stalks are short. And the flowers look like roses. And "rosea" is one heck of a lot easier to say than "purpurea ssp. venosa var. burkii". Just rolls right off the tongue!
