The tall tubular pitchers often develop deep tones of crimson, burgundy, and green, with a smooth surface that can appear almost polished in bright sunlight. This subtle sheen gives the plant a metallic look that inspired its memorable name.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"429\" data-end=\"722\"\u003eThe upright traps rise elegantly from the crown and feature a flared mouth beneath a gracefully arched hood. In good light, fine veining and contrasting coloration near the throat add depth and detail to the pitchers, making the plant an eye-catching specimen in any carnivorous plant display.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"724\" data-end=\"1111\"\u003eLike all North American pitcher plants, the leaves are modified into insect-catching traps. Nectar produced along the rim attracts insects, which slip into the smooth interior of the pitcher and are guided downward by fine hairs into digestive fluid at the base. This remarkable adaptation allows the plant to thrive in nutrient-poor, acidic soils where most other plants would struggle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1113\" data-end=\"1453\"\u003eDuring the growing season, \u003cem data-start=\"1140\" data-end=\"1152\"\u003eSarracenia\u003c\/em\u003e ‘Metalized’ produces a handsome clump of tall pitchers that bring dramatic color and texture to bog plantings. The dark tones of the traps contrast beautifully with sphagnum moss and companion bog plants. In early spring, nodding flowers appear on tall stems before the new pitchers begin to develop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-section-id=\"e21a7f\" data-start=\"1455\" data-end=\"1477\"\u003eGrowing Conditions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-start=\"1479\" data-end=\"1767\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"qeub2v\" data-start=\"1479\" data-end=\"1502\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1481\" data-end=\"1502\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1481\" data-end=\"1491\"\u003eLight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full sun\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"rmti6d\" data-start=\"1503\" data-end=\"1609\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1505\" data-end=\"1609\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1505\" data-end=\"1515\"\u003eWater:\u003c\/strong\u003e Constant moisture; keep soil wet with pure water (rainwater, distilled, or reverse osmosis)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"12dpt9y\" data-start=\"1610\" data-end=\"1665\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1612\" data-end=\"1665\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1612\" data-end=\"1621\"\u003eSoil:\u003c\/strong\u003e Acidic bog mix such as peat moss and sand\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1p1mjxa\" data-start=\"1666\" data-end=\"1709\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1668\" data-end=\"1709\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1668\" data-end=\"1682\"\u003eHardiness:\u003c\/strong\u003e Generally USDA Zones 6–9\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"7lqpj7\" data-start=\"1710\" data-end=\"1767\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1712\" data-end=\"1767\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1712\" data-end=\"1725\"\u003eDormancy:\u003c\/strong\u003e Requires winter dormancy in cooler months\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-section-id=\"syv27p\" data-start=\"1769\" data-end=\"1787\"\u003eLandscape Uses\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-start=\"1789\" data-end=\"2137\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1pxqrrd\" data-start=\"1789\" data-end=\"1849\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1791\" data-end=\"1849\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1791\" data-end=\"1814\"\u003eBog garden specimen\u003c\/strong\u003e providing bold color and texture\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"517u2l\" data-start=\"1850\" data-end=\"1926\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1852\" data-end=\"1926\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1852\" data-end=\"1881\"\u003eContainer bog centerpiece\u003c\/strong\u003e for patios, decks, and small garden spaces\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1dlnd66\" data-start=\"1927\" data-end=\"1997\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1929\" data-end=\"1997\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1929\" data-end=\"1955\"\u003ePond-edge accent plant\u003c\/strong\u003e where acidic wet soil can be maintained\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"2qy8rm\" data-start=\"1998\" data-end=\"2074\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2000\" data-end=\"2074\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2000\" data-end=\"2028\"\u003eEducational garden plant\u003c\/strong\u003e demonstrating carnivorous plant adaptations\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"w4luxe\" data-start=\"2075\" data-end=\"2137\" data-is-last-node=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2077\" data-end=\"2137\" data-is-last-node=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2077\" data-end=\"2101\"\u003eCollector’s specimen\u003c\/strong\u003e valued for its dark glossy pitchers\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuch a stunning plant, super super rarely offered \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1 medium division available \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Plant Everything Carnivorous","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59185932992593,"sku":"sku-52020292190497","price":250.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0080\/4864\/0081\/files\/Metalized.jpg?v=1773193095","url":"https:\/\/gogardennow.com\/products\/sarracenia-metalized","provider":"GoGardenNow","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
