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.

Height: Up to 3 inches at maturity.
Sunlight: Full sun during the growing season.
Water: Low-mineral water (50 ppm or less).

Beautiful!
All of my plants arrived carefully packaged and in great health. The fly trap was small, as expected, and has at least doubled in size in the last 2 months.

Plant was healthy, growing, and recently fed!
My 5 yo son, who is currently obsessed with carnivorous plants, was so excited to receive this little flytrap in the mail. I was pleased to see that it was a very healthy little plant with lots of traps (one having recently eaten) and several growing. Over the past month, the plant has flourished on our doorstep. We have followed the included instructions and have had a lot of success so far. My son loves to feed it ants and caterpillars he pulls off our vegetable plants. Thank you so much, Sarracenia Northwest, for providing a wonderful resource for buy and learning about these weird and wonderful plants!

The plant arrived crowded with a couple dozen traps. It's a week into May and it's just now starting to open up and get growing.
