Mammoth is one of the giant flytrap cultivars. The typical adult Venus flytrap has traps that grow up to an inch across. A giant form may produce traps that are at least 50% larger than a typical form of the same age. In some cases, traps can grow up to 1.5 inches long. With Mammoth, its traps lie close to the soil surface.
