A true American classic. Native to the coastal plains of North Carolina, this plant is often a person's first introduction to carnivorous plants. It's a small plant, rarely growing larger than 4 inches in diameter. As a U.S.-native, it grows best outdoors in full sun during the growing season. In fall, it slows down and prepares for winter dormancy. While dormant, it can withstand an overnight frost down to 20°F. Growth resumes in spring.

I've ordered many plants from them over the years and they are always in beautiful condition, ready to grow with proper light, water, and care. And you can't mess it up because they send so much information on how to be successful in that care. I'm a teacher and love showing my students these incredible species.
This arrived in impressive shape and is catching bugs and has grown 2 new since I received it a month ago. I thought I was getting a typical trap but this seems a step up from that... at the very least, it is an awesome and healthy Dionaea Muscipula Venus FLytrap!
Packaging was exceptional, plants arrived in excellent condition, they look like they came straight from the greenhouse.
Incredible
I ordered from a handful of popular nurseries, all around the same time with about the same budget. This nursery not only processed and shipped my order the fastest, but also sent some of the biggest and healthiest looking plants. 5/5 Highly recommend.
I have had trouble in the past with Venus traps but these are doing very well
Arrived in good shape.
These Venus Flytraps Blew Me Away when I opened them. Bloodshot Red interiors with Beautiful Coloration throughout. Stunning Plants
I have ordered from this company many times over the years. Plants are healthy and packing is always top notch. Highly recommend.
I live in the Trenon NJ area. My collection contains six Flytraps which I purchased in September of this year. My current knowledge is mainly derived from Jacob Farin's book, which I'm glad I purchased. It contains a wealth of information. My 6 plants are still in the original supplied 3" pots, sitting in a Tupperware type container. I'm monitoring my plants daily for any changes toward dormancy, but the October temps here have been on the warm side. To date, the one thing that surprised me is how quickly the distilled water evaporates from the bottom water tray. I maintain 1 to 1.5 inches of distilled water in the tray. Going forward, looking into Spring, I need to determine if the flytraps need to be repotted. On the "fun" side my 6 year old Grandson enjoyed "feeding" the flytraps with some bugs we found under some flower pots. My next challenge will be the NJ winter. It's impossible to predict how severe of a winter we'll have.
My flytrap went dormant (I hope ) early in the season , I monitor it and can’t wait for spring, here in South Florida.
I took advantage of the BOGO and got a great deal on 2 beautiful VFTs. Arrived in excellent condition and currently thriving in their new home.
