Awesome plants, great quality
All the plants ive ordered have been packaged very well and love the quality. Before i discovered Sarracenia i purchased carnivorous plants from a seller in new york and the difference is astounding. Sarracenia plants are unbeatable!

Fly trap receipt
The fly trap arrived ahead of schedule, wrapped up tight and snug. It was very healthy. I've already transferred it a tray with water and will plant it this fall in my bog.

Great packaging, arrived in a timely manner, and the plant looked great.

Cool plant
Plant arrived moist and in good condition, very well packaged. This is our first carnivorous plant. A few of older traps turned black shortly after it arrived, but little babies are growing up so I think this would have happened regardless of shipping. We are keeping the plants outside and they have already trapped bugs naturally! Very exciting.

Top Quality!
The extreme care and labor that goes into packaging a single plant is incredible. And it ensures the plant arrived perfectly healthy. Then, there's the plant. So healthy and not some tiny start or an immature plant. A bargain at twice the price.
