Yellow pitcherplant is a perennial carnivorous plant with an eye-catching pitcher-shaped leaf structure. These tubular leaves are green, often with red to yellowish hues, and can grow up to 3 feet (90 cm) tall. They produce a sweet nectar that lures insects into their cavity, which contains a slippery interior and downward-pointing hairs, trapping prey for nutrient absorption. The pitcher's pool of water and enzymes facilitates the digestion of entrapped insects.
