About seven years ago I have received and sown S. purpurea purpurea
stolonifera seeds from the UK CPS.

I was told that it is a plant that generates pitchers the size of a S.
flava, but flat to the ground, meaning that after a number of years you
end up having a plant with a diameter of more than 1.50 meter. The plant
has flowered and now measures about 50 cm in diameter. The small size is

probably due to the fact that is was kept in the same small pot for too
long, now that it was transplanted in a 5 litres pot it doubled in size
during one growing season.

Who knows something more about this plant ? The CP database knows about
its existence, but gives no additional information.

Kind regards
Wim
