Random selection from very many clones out of microprop.
The female parent is a selected clone of Nepenthes spathulata with wide purple peristome and green pitcher body, sold under BE-3175 and the male parent is a selected clone of the giant form of Nepenthes spectabilis sold under BE-3178. Although some of these plants may appear quite similar to the cultivar Nepenthes ‘Helen' as they have the same parents, they do not include the specific clone chosen as Nepenthes ‘Helen’.
