Dionaea muscipula King Henry Flytrap
$15.95
This variety of flytrap produces upright yellow traps. The mouths of the traps have a splash of reddish orange. It grows very vigorously and sends up multiple traps at once. It also produces larger than normal traps when it matures, up to 1 1/2 inches. Because of the long petioles, the leaves flop over due to the weight of the large traps. This is probably why it was called King Henry!

Height: Up to 5 inches at maturity.
Sunlight: Full sun during the growing season.
Water: Low-mineral water (50 ppm or less).

Excellent flytrap!
Ordered a large quantity of plants and they came in today. I have to say Sarracenia Northwest if you call these small plants I don't know what is lol! These small king Henrys are big! I was expecting a very small plant with traps averaging half an inch but no these traps are about 1 inch to 1 3/4 inches. As always you guys never dissapoint.

Wonderful!
This is the store I chose to buy from because they had very good reviews. I am glad to be adding to the list of satisfied customer reviews because they really had very nice plants and exceptional customer service. My package of Sarracenia x Judith Hindle & VFT x King Henry arrived a day earlier than I expected , and even after 2 days of transit, my plants looked very healthy and the soil and root system didn't seem disturbed at all. They really took time to wrap the plants carefully, and even with the height of the Sarracenia they sent me, they managed to ensure that none of the taller pitchers will be bent or damaged upon arrival. The media was intact and moist, so I did not have to deal with plant shock during transit. Now, both plants are thriving in my balcony. Thank you very much, Sarracenia Northwest for the wonderful plants !

King Henry
I ordered this plant and as always it arrived in excellent condition and was a very nice plant, I planted it and there was no transplant shock do to it being potted very well and delivered fast, it has since grew several large traps and one was big enough that it caught a large red wasper in it. I can say that it is a awesome plant well worth the money. Thanks Guys
