Cobra Pitcher Plant Seeds - Ornamental Carnivorous Plant

Cobra pitcher plant is a perennial carnivorous plant native to cool, nutrient-poor wetland environments. It grows naturally in seepage bogs and cold, flowing water areas where soil is acidic and low in nutrients. The plant produces distinctive tubular, hooded pitcher structures that trap insects for nutrition. It requires consistently moist conditions and cool root temperatures, making it suitable for specialized bog gardens and controlled cultivation environments.
