Sarracenia ‘Velet’ features elegant, upright pitchers reaching 10–18" tall, with narrow tubes and a ruffled hood. The pitcher body is flushed with deep burgundy to wine-red tones, often accented with subtle veining and darker lids, giving the plant a velvety, polished appearance. In spring, the plant produces a nodding, 2–2.5" wide flower on an 18–24" stalk. The petals are deep rose to reddish-purple and slightly reflexed, blooming for several weeks and offering a pleasant fragrance that attracts pollinators.
