Sarracenia alata × minor is a striking hybrid that blends the tall and elegant S. alata with the hooded, domed lid and distinctive light windows of S. minor. This cross produces slender, upright pitchers with graceful curved hoods and excellent height—sometimes exceeding that of either parent.
Pitchers range from light green to golden-yellow with varying degrees of red veining, often intensifying in bright light and cooler temperatures. The influence of S. minor is evident in the translucent windows (areoles) that decorate the upper pitcher, creating a dramatic contrast against the darker veins. Some clones develop strong coloration and contrasting lids with a subtle copper blush.
This hybrid combines the durability and vigor of S. alata with the more unusual visual appeal of S. minor, making it a great option for collectors looking for something architectural yet understated.
