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.
Winter: Dormant. Minimal protection in USDA zones 7-9. Mulch in colder regions.

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.

Awesome delivery and plants
I love my new Venus fly trap. The instructions pamphlets set me up to take good care of the new plants, as they are my first carnivorous plants. For example, I bought hastily thinking I could keep it in a darkish room to take care of the fruit fly problem. The pamphlet and plant tag made it very clear that Venus fly traps are actually cold hardy perennials that need as much sun as they can get, and can/should stay outside in the sun. Also, I now know to keep the soil boggy at all times. Who knew? And a month later, my plant is so happy and putting up bigger and taller shoots each week.

Venus Fly Trap
I recently was trying to figure out how to deal with all of the flies that were buzzing around. I don’t know if I read something or it just popped into my head but it lead me to research carnivorous plants which then lead me to the Sarracencia website. This website was so informative and helpful. I followed all of the instructions and my Venus Flytraps are thriving! They are just so cute and happy. I was so thrilled with my purchase, I ordered a different one which came today. It’s called ‘Ladies in Waiting’. I can’t wait until the pitchers grow. This has become my new favorite hobby. I highly recommend this company.
