This is surely going to turn out to be a great cross once mature. Many people will be familiar with Nepenthes ‘Briggsiana’, which is also a cross involving Nepenthes lowii as one parent, but using Nepenthes ventricosa as the other parent. In our experience, Nepenthes burkei makes hybrids that are every bit as vigorous, but often superior in appearance, to crosses made with Nepenthes ventricosa, to which it is closely related. So there is a good chance that at least some of the clones under this item will be superior to Nepenthes ‘Briggsiana’. At the time of launch, we have seen enough to know that all clones we have raised so far appear to have colourful pitchers and it certainly is vigorous and easy to grow.

History: First introduced in Feb 2026.
Climate: 'Intermediate', which means it will flourish in a wide range of temperatures. We have tested it from 12 - 32 deg. C (54 - 90 deg. F), although it will tolerate temperatures outside this range.
