Sarracenia Purpurea, double extracted, made with all parts of the fresh live plant, from the leaf to the root, to capture the full essence of this unique plant. Also known as the purple pitcher plant or northern pitcher plant, this carnivorous perennial is native to the wetlands of the eastern United States where it thrives in bogs. This intriguing plant is known for its low growth and short, stout traps that often flaunt a striking burgundy hue with red veins when basked in full sunlight. During the winter months, this unique carnivorous plant transforms into a beautiful deep reddish-purple shade.Its hollow, water-filled leaves serve as a deadly trap for unsuspecting insects. When an insect lands on the slippery rim, it often falls into the water below, where it is digested by enzymes and bacteria, providing essential nutrients to the plant. In the late 1800s, the ingenious Micmac Indians of Nova Scotia used Sarracenia Purpurea for various botanical remedies. Their traditional knowledge showed the plant's potential for many uses and has since captured the fascination of botanists and plant enthusiasts.
