Purple is my favorite color so pickerel weed naturally caught my eye. I never really noticed this plant until I was sitting outside the post office waiting for my brother to run in and mail a package. All the purple blooms caught my eye so of course I had to get out of the car and see what it was. I like to mix in natives as much as possible - cuts down on the workload since they can fend for themselves a lot! Gives me more time to focus on my fussy plants. And to answer your question, most pitcher plants top out around 12-18 inches, although there is a variety of hooded pitcher plant called the "Okeefenokee Giant" that gets up to three feet! Here's a picture I took of a whole bunch of them in their natural habitat.
