Sarracenia are fun to grow from seed. Hybrid seedlings always seem to grow faster for me than the pure species. However, I was surprised how big these 9-week-old seedlings have gotten. They are from my own plant, harvested in fall, chilled, and then warmed up about the first week of December. You can see a pitcher in the back right that is almost 3 inches tall!!! Some of them are already catching fungus gnats.
