Sarracenia × 'Farnhamii' forms a dense rosette of upright to semi-erect pitchers, typically 8–16 in tall. The pitchers have a broad, flaring mouth and range in color from green to burgundy, often with white or pinkish areoles and deep red veining inherited from S. leucophylla. The hood may show a curled or frilled edge with strong patterning. In mid to late spring, plants send up a single flower, 1.5–2.5 in across, on a 12–18 in stalk. The flowers are usually a rich rose to dark pink, nodding downward with a characteristic umbrella-like style.
