This particular clone originates from \u003cstrong\u003eSand Mountain in Marshall County, Alabama\u003c\/strong\u003e, one of the species’ primary natural habitats. Sand Mountain is known for its highland ridges and valleys, and remains one of the few remaining strongholds for wild populations of \u003cem\u003eS. oreophila\u003c\/em\u003e. This is an \u003cstrong\u003eexceedingly rare and special clone\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDue to its \u003cstrong\u003ecritically endangered\u003c\/strong\u003e status, conservation efforts are in place to protect remaining wild populations. The \u003cstrong\u003eAtlanta Botanical Garden\u003c\/strong\u003e runs an ongoing propagation and reintroduction program. Our plants were originally acquired through a long-standing Canadian nursery that has been dedicated to propagating and preserving this species for over 20 years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis clone produces \u003cstrong\u003erichly colored, heavily veined pitchers\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003efragrant yellow flowers\u003c\/strong\u003e. Unlike most species, it \u003cstrong\u003eprimarily forms pitchers in spring and early summer\u003c\/strong\u003e, often going dormant earlier in the season. It is also \u003cstrong\u003eexceptionally cold-hardy\u003c\/strong\u003e, owing to its native snowy mountain habitat, and can survive temperatures as low as –20 °C. The name “\u003cem\u003eoreophila\u003c\/em\u003e” literally means “mountain-loving,” derived from Greek (\u003cem\u003eoros\u003c\/em\u003e = mountain, \u003cem\u003ephilos\u003c\/em\u003e = loving).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cu\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e________________________________________________________________\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBefore purchasing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAll plants are shipped bare-root. \u003c\/strong\u003ePlease ensure you thoroughly research the specific environmental conditions, soil media, and lighting requirements necessary to maintain healthy plants.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCanadian Carnivores takes pride in blending our own soil in-house, and we invite you to explore our selection of\u003cstrong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/growing-supplies\" title=\"collections\/growing-supplies\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eGrowing Supplies\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca href=\"collections\/growing-supplies\" title=\"collections\/growing-supplies\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cu\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e________________________________________________________________\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShipping\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen selecting a shipping option, we advise choosing the \u003cstrong\u003efastest method\u003c\/strong\u003e available for your locAation to minimize transit time and reduce stress on your plants.
