[edit] Common hybrids
These species are all popularly cultivated by carnivorous plant enthusiasts, and there are consequently a large number of hybrids and cultivars: S. × catesbaei being the very common cross between S. flava and S. purpurea. Many of these hybrids occur naturally in the wild where special ranges overlap. The following is a list of named hybrids. Many of these names are relics of a time when these hybrids - when found in the wild - were thought to be species of their own.
- Sarracenia × catesbaei = S. flava × S. purpurea
- Sarracenia × moorei = S. flava × S. leucophylla
- Sarracenia × popei = S. flava × S. rubra
- Sarracenia × harperi = S. flava × S. minor
- Sarracenia × alava = S. flava × S. alata
- Sarracenia × mitchelliana = S. purpurea × S. leucophylla
- Sarracenia × exornata = S. purpurea × S. alata
- Sarracenia × chelsonii = S. purpurea × S. rubra
- Sarracenia × swaniana = S. purpurea × S. minor
- Sarracenia × courtii = S. purpurea × S. psittacina
- Sarracenia × pureophila = S. purpurea × S. oreophila
- Sarracenia × readii = S. leucophylla × S. rubra
- Sarracenia × farnhamii = S. leucophylla × S. rubra
- Sarracenia × excellens = S. leucophylla × S. minor
- Sarracenia × cantabridgensis = S. leucophylla × S. minor
- Sarracenia × areolata = S. leucophylla × S. alata
- Sarracenia × wrigleyana = S. leucophylla × S. psittacina
- Sarracenia × ahlesii = S. alata × S. rubra
- Sarracenia × rehderi = S. rubra × S. minor
- Sarracenia × gilpini = S. rubra × S. psittacina
- Sarracenia × formosa = S. minor × S. psittacina
