Hooded pitcher plant features a distinctive rosette arrangement of stemless, clump-forming leaves. These modified leaves, shaped into narrow, hollow cones approximately 1 to 2 feet (30 to 60 cm) tall, act as traps with alluring nectar and translucent 'windows' to ensnare insects. Overhead, a hood-like structure caps the cone. The plant exhibits unique upside-down umbrella-like yellow flowers atop tall stalks. Upon maturing, brown seed pods release seeds, furthering propagation primarily via underground rhizomes.
