This review is long overdue! I have purchased several plants (nepenthes, Sarracenia, and VFT) from Sarracenia Northwest and I am never disappointed! This is by far my favorite source for carnivorous plants and potting medium! My plants always arrive quick, healthy, and are always packaged very carefully!! I highly recommend purchasing from this nursery! It is hands down my favorite:)

Venus Flytraps
I teach 5th grade in Ferguson, MO. I thought acquiring a Venus flytrap as our class pet would be an awesome wrap up for our life science unit! Students loved the plant so much! Wanted to name it but they couldn’t reach a consensus ...sooooo they decided to cast secret ballots for either a girl (Venus) or boy (Vincent). After a gender reveal with balloons....it’s a boy! Vincent Valentine! Plant appears to be hardy and thriving! Thank you for our Vincent!
