Sarracenia Farnhamii (12cm) Farnham's Pitcher Plant

Quick Guide

  • Unique, captivating pitcher shapes
  • Low-maintenance carnivorous plant
  • Perfect for sunlit spots
  • A conversation-starter piece
  • Effective insect controller

The Sarracenia Farnhamii, or more commonly known in the UK as Farnham's Pitcher Plant, proudly showcases its enthralling, tall, tubular pitchers which boast a combination of rich green and subtle reddish hues, particularly towards the beautifully contoured and deceptively inviting openings designed to capture its prey. The plant has a particular penchant for sunny spots, being native to North American bogs. It brings not only an aesthetic, exotic beauty to your home but serves as an effective insect controller. Expect your Sarracenia Farnhamii to attain a maximum height and spread of about 60cm and 30cm respectively. Its elegant, elongated pitchers create an intriguing visual appeal that is splendidly complemented by plants like the Venus Flytrap and Sundew, other members of the carnivorous plant family. While predominantly an outdoor plant due to its natural habitat and need for direct sunlight, it can be nurtured indoors given adequate light conditions. The Farnham's Pitcher Plant does not boast air-purifying qualities but compensates with its distinct, intriguing aesthetics and functional insect control.

Plant Care Guide

Sarracenia Farnhamii requires straightforward, yet mindful care. Ensure it enjoys full sun; a south-facing windowsill is ideal indoors. Utilize rainwater or distilled water for hydration, avoiding tap water due to potential mineral content that may adversely affect the plant. Keep its soil (preferably sphagnum moss or a carnivorous plant mix) consistently moist, avoiding waterlogging. No need for additional feeding, as it gathers nutrients from the insects it captures. Provide humidity through occasional misting, particularly if placed indoors. Avoid placing it in drafty areas, and ensure it experiences a winter dormancy period, where it can experience cooler temperatures without frost, aiding its healthy cycle of growth.

Third-Party Couriers

For London postcodes outside a 5-mile radius of our Kentish Town garden centre, we may occasionally use a third-party courier for delivery. In these cases, we try our best to still deliver the items in the requested delivery time slot but please be aware that occasionally this may not always be possible and is out of our control.

Delivery Discrepancies

Please check your order as soon as it arrives. If there is any discrepancy — such as a missing, incorrect, or damaged item — please contact us within 48 hours of delivery so we can put things right. After this time, we will assume the order was received complete and in good condition. We are unable to take responsibility for damage that has occurred after this period.

Click & Collect

We encourage you to collect from our garden centre in Kentish Town — it saves on delivery costs and gives you the chance to see our full range of plants and products in person.

Returns Policy

If you need to return an item, please contact us within 14 days of receipt to arrange a return or exchange. Products must be in their original condition and packaging. Plants may be non-refundable unless they arrive damaged or defective.

Items bought in-store or collected can be returned directly at the garden centre. If you would like us to collect a return and it is in good condition (e.g. you have changed your mind), it must be in its original condition, and the same delivery cost will apply for the return.

Plants marked as reduced for end-of-season clearance are non-refundable, as they are sold specifically to clear stock. This does not apply to special offers or multibuy promotions, which are eligible for returns as per our standard terms.
