A very good supplier of carnivorous plants
I received a very robust and healthy looking plant. It was packaged nicely for shipping. After a short period of adapting to my central Texas heat, the plant is sprouting new growth and doing very well.

Better than expected
Since I live in zone 9a I keep all of my CPS outside year round. My other flytraps were going into dormancy but the dente came with a few nice mature leaves and ones still developing. I wasn't expecting that.

Survived Winter Shipping
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!

Great plant! Excellent packaging
I wondered how on earth a small plant would make it safely through the mail system. Sarracenia did such an amazing job preparing and shipping this plant! It arrived in perfect condition and is flourishing :)

Recommend!!
I had a great experience ordering from Sarracenia Northwest. I was very wary of buying a plant online because I had read many bad reviews on several different plant websites. But this was one of the only sites that didn't have bad reviews. I ordered a Flytrap and was appropriately billed. My plant was sent and received in a timely manner and I was notified of when my plant was shipped. I am a first time buyer from SN, but I would definitely buy from them again!!!! Thank you so much for my plant!!!! :) Just wanted to say that because this company deserves it!
