This flytrap features red leaves and traps. Young plants are bright red throughout. As the plant matures, it turns maroon with a green margin along the edge of the traps. Despite its attractive red leaves, this particular variety is temperamental. It dislikes root disturbance, and it dislikes excessive heat. (Other varieties of flytraps are much more resilient.) In winter, it will also drop all of its leaves, leaving nothing to show. The Red Dragon Flytrap is best for growers who have experience growing the more typical variety.

Type of Plant: Outdoor perennial for container growing.
Height: Up to 4 inches at maturity.
Sunlight: Full sun during the growing season. (The Red Dragon Flytrap likes full sun but dislikes excessive heat. So it's most suitable to regions with sunny yet moderate summers.)
Water: Low-mineral water (50 ppm or less).
Soil: Equal parts peat moss and perlite only.
Winter: Dormant. Minimal protection in USDA zones 7-9. Mulch in colder regions.

    Very pleased with how well the plants are packed for shipping. They emerge as if they were NOT shipped across the country in a stuffy box!

    This flytrap has gorgeous color. The plant is extremely healthy and was packed so well that it didn't suffer any damage in transit.

    Best friend for gardens

    Posted by William Potter on July 13, 2020

    Has drastically helped in my pest problem. Come from the southwest and could never get these little guys to survive. Moved to OR and beyond impressed with it not only surviving outdoors but thriving here. It was packaged in a very careful manner that ensured its safety in transport.

    I was only familiar with the green ones before and never knew there were other species. The Red Dragon is beautiful!
