Dionaea muscipula King Henry Flytrap
$39.95
$29.95
This variety of flytrap produces upright yellow traps. The mouths of the traps have a splash of reddish orange. It grows very vigorously and sends up multiple traps at once. It also produces larger than normal traps when it matures, up to 1 1/2 inches. Because of the long petioles, the leaves flop over due to the weight of the large traps. This is probably why it was called King Henry!
This batch are divisions from a 10-year old colony that we divided in spring. You can watch us divide the colony on our YouTube channel.

First time with "King Henry"
I have never grown "King Henry" Venus flytrap, and so I was glad to order this one on a special. I received a nice small plant that has continued to grow normally first when inside under fluorescent lights and now outside in the sunlight. RESPONSE FROM SARRACENIA NORTHWEST: We do not at all recommend growing flytraps under fluorescent lights, especially during the growing season. These are cold hardy plants native to North Carolina. At our nursery in Oregon, we grow them strictly outdoors. No terrariums or artificial growing conditions for these guys! We always recommend following the care instructions provided with your plant. Plants are only guaranteed for 30 days when the care instructions are followed. The guarantee is void should you decide to go rogue. :-)

Beautiful big traps!
My king Henry is thriving with beautiful vigorous traps! It's already catching daddy long legs on my porch. Totally recommended this plant for a begginer! P.S don't forget to buy the volume 1 DVD for successful growing!

Bigger than I thought.
When I purchased this one it said Small.... well it's a lot bigger and more mature than I thought it would be... even had a few little ones clustered around its base. And the packaging was perfect. Got here quick.

Those little guys are going strong.
I had bought two plants of King Henry Venus Flytraps for my home, but had instead brought them to the office. Sitting in a south facing window, and getting daily drinks of bottled water, the plants have been doing great! In the big office somehow any flies make their way to the plants, and co workers love them. They've gotten so big, I'm re potting them tomorrow!

Dionaea muscipula "King Henry Flytrap" [Sm
I am very pleased with my recent order. The plants arrived very quickly (especially considering they came from the other side of the country). They were nice sized plants well packed and in good shape. The instruction sheets were easy to understand and appreciated. All plants are growing well.
