BE4528 Nepenthes 'Helen'

N.spathulata x spectabilis , The Old cultivar

Nepenthes 'Helen' was named over a decade ago - when it was debuted by Borneo Exotics at the June 2011 Chelsea Flower Show in London - and it is named in honor of famed actress Dame Helen Mirren. But it is just now becoming readily available!  This plant makes lots of round, speckled pitchers with huge, glossy red lips.

The female parent is our finest selected clone of N. spathulata, with wide purple peristome and green pitcher body, sold under BE-3175, and the male parent is the incomparable giant form of N. spectabilis, selected from those sold under BE-3178. This clone was selected from plants out of the same grex as the assorted clones sold under BE-3314, although this particular clone was always separated and is not included in BE-3314.
