Are there any vet cultivars that produce pink coloured leaves?

Purple ambush does have a very slight purple tinge inside the traps but it’s mostly just your typical red anthocynan.

If it got cross bred with a red vft cultivar then we could get some seedlings that would produce pink color, because red + white = pink. But propably the chances of a seedling having these characteristics will be very rare. Is this theory right to some degree at least?The theory is correct, that's basically how D. capensis "Big Pink" came to be.

Pretty much the only way you prove the theory is to cross any two VFT's and see. Each seed produced will have an approximate 1 in 4.3 trillion chance at being red or pale, with an approximate1 in 8.6 trillion chance of being both. It all depends on what genes get expressed.
