Sarracenia ‘Maroon’ produces compact to medium-height pitchers, typically 8–14" tall, with broad, flaring mouths and short hoods. The entire pitcher displays a rich, uniform maroon to burgundy tone with a satin sheen, occasionally accented with faint veining. This intense coloration deepens in full sun. In spring, a single flower 1.5–2" across emerges on a 12–18" tall stalk. The flower is nodding, with burgundy to deep red petals and a distinctive umbrella-shaped structure. It lasts several weeks and is mildly fragrant, attracting spring pollinators.
