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!

This batch are divisions from a 10-year old colony that we divided in spring. You can watch us divide the colony on our YouTube channel.

    The plant was shipped with proper care, just like all the other plants I received from Sarracenia Northwest. The pot came with a decent sized Venus Fly trap and a smaller offshoot. The pot even came with a free small Sundew. All the traps had a nice healthy reddish color on the inside. Overall a quality purchase.
