Your plant will arrive in a 3-inch pot. It will reach maturity within 1-2 seasons. Photos are representations of plants during their growing season.
We grow all cold hardy plants outdoors at our nursery in Oregon. This means your plant will be acclimated for outdoor growing throughout the year. They will experience heat and sun in summer and frost and snow in winter.

Cupped Traps!
Placed my order 3 hours past the cutoff time and it was still shipped the next day. I then received not one plant, but a VERY nice clump of 5-7 plants of varying sizes. A few of them are even flowering. This is a great batch of plants.

Venus Flytrap, Cupped
I ordered my Venus Flytrap Cupped and it arrived on time and was packed extremely well and since then I have planted it and has many new traps on it. You just won't get any better Quality or Service than you get at Sarracenia Northwest. Thank You Joe W.
