There are tons of hybrids. 

Did you read that? Read it again. There are TONS of hybrids. Don't expect much information here, I do have a life! Here are some photos or information on what hybrids I found for sale around the internet... If you wish to know more, visit the CP Database

 

Nepenthes x coccinea - One of the few hybrids I own. I purchased it from the 1999 Texas Nurseryman and Landscape Association Convention in Dallas, Texas.  It was a shock to find such a plant there! A lowland hybrid which is a very vigorous grower; a cross between Nepenthes x hookeriana (rafflesiana & ampullaria) then crossed with mirabilis. Leaves easily get over 12 inches, and I bet they can get up to 24 inches! Pitchers are green, with dark red streaks. I don't have much of a pictures, the plant went through shock when I brought it home, and all its pitchers lost their color. Here is a picture of the entire plant, trap, and when they were at the Convention.  I'll be attempting propagation for sure! In September 1999, I got two more for my collection, and they did not go through shock. 

  

Nepenthes x mixta - A hybrid of northiana (lowland) and maxima (highland) Can produce huge pitchers up to 12 inches long.  Pale green pitchers with lots of red streaks. Below is a young plant from Lee's Botanical Gardens.
