    I got it in May, I now have two plants. They are both catching flies. It hasn't grown as much as the King Henry though.

    Survived Winter Shipping

    Posted by Thom on January 9, 2017

    I was impressed with the level of care that was taken to ensure a safe journey to my house. Plants arrived on a very cold day; it was about 20 degrees F on the day they showed up on my porch. Taking them inside and unpacking them revealed very healthy looking plants. As I live in Plant Hardiness Zone 5, I will be keeping them indoors this winter while trying to maintain dormancy by placing them on a cool windowsill. I am looking forward to watching them flourish outdoors once Spring arrives!
