Big Mouth is one of the giant flytrap cultivars and is probably the largest in our collection. The typical adult Venus flytrap has traps that grow up to an inch across. This beast produces traps nearly twice as large as a typical form of the same age. That's up to 2 inches! With traps so huge, they lie close to the soil surface. Overall, it's an impressive plant.
