A true American classic. Native to the coastal plains of North Carolina, this plant is often a person's first introduction into carnivorous plants. It's a small plant, rarely growing larger than 4 inches in diameter. As a US-native, this plant grows best outdoors in full sun during the growing season. In winter, it shuts down for a short rest. Growth resumes in spring.
Type of Plant: Outdoor perennial for container growing.
Height: Up to 3 inches at maturity.
Sunlight: Full sun during the growing season.
Water: Low-mineral water (50 ppm or less).
Soil: Equal parts peat moss and perlite only.

The flytraps arrived in healthy condition. I planted them in a good sized pot that sits in a plastic container to catch rain water and hold distilled water. It is one month later and they are doing well. I planted a rescue flytrap I purchased from Hone depot.
Caught a giant mayfly that barely fit in the trap on the first night. The legs were sticking out in the morning. Now it's sending up a flower
I had given up on carnivorous plants, then I came across Sarracenia Northwest on YouTube, thank goodness! My plants arrived packed with care and came with written instructions! Will definately purchase from them again!
Arrived beautiful and ready for the growing season
Can’t say enough good things about SN AND THEIR STAFF! Plants are always packaged well! If you have a question it has always been answered in a professional and timely manner! I check their website a couple times a week!
As always the plant arrived in excellent condition, and is doing so. well, with several new leaves forming. It just sits in its bowl, in the water with aseveral leaves open waiting.A wonderful plant !
Beautiful color and flourishing !
Very healthy, growing well
I hate paying for shipping which is usually a rip off but you can tell your people put the effort into making sure all my delicate plants arrive safe 100% of time.
I’ve ordered from Sarracenia many times and the plants are amazing. Fast shipping and perfect packaging. Ordered more flytrap babies this spring and they’re outside growing (growing fast) and eating already. I honestly can’t recommend Sarracenia enough. My particular area is GA and I have them in deep pots and soil from Sarracenia, always in a few inches of water and full blazing sun. Trust these folks and don’t be afraid to grow these spectacular carnivorous plants - they’re such a joy. And the videos you’ll revive through email are great too - love the cowboy hat ☺️
Arrived very small, but is doing well in a glass bell jar with with led lightening.
I will absolutely be buying more in the future!
