Instead it's going crazy with new pitchers. When should it go into dormancy? It seems I should wait until the new pitchers have matured.

My stupid leucos always show lots of great potential this time of year with the nice, robust fall growth... and then BAMM! Frost. Show's over

This species... itza make-a me crazy. Then I go to Syble's to see her bog and there they are... absolutely beautiful. At least I have a few pics of this species in all of its glory to enjoy.

According to many things I've seen and been told, up here you can expect S.leucophylla to make the finest pitchers around this type of the year- Jay often laments that once the REAL nice pitchers form, frost comes and kills them. So a profusion of pitchers is totally what you should have right now- not doing indoor dormancy, I can't offer any advice as to when to do what tho, sorry

group,

leuco is just one of the plants that puts up nice fall growth. Most sarracenia species put a huge flush of pitchers up in the spring, but seem to peter out during the summer. I think a pseudo dormancy to deal with the heat. Infact, flava and oreophila completely stop growing in July and oreos put out phylodia.

Leucos in many cases put out phylodia type leaves during the dry summer as well. In my opinion, the best pitchers of most sarracenia species are in the late summer early fall when the rains increase and temps go down.

alata, minor, purpurea, rubra, leuco and psit and many hybrids there of do their best pitchers in the fall all the way to a frost. Flava, oreophila are truely early season plants (closely related).

I actually enjoy the fall with sarracenia much more than the spring! (minus the flowers of course)
