DESCRIPTION

This variety of flytrap produces upright yellow traps. The mouths of the traps have a splash of reddish orange. This variety of flytrap produces upright yellow traps with a splash of reddish-orange on the mouths. 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!

    did not expect such a large healthy plant

    was still dormant when arrived, i couldn't guess how many new traps this thing has put out in such a short time. has surpassed all expectations of health size and growth.

    Great little plants - arrived healthy

    Posted by Patrick Millar on April 22, 2019

    I found the site to be very helpful in terms of setting expectations. Plants were shipped promptly and packaged very carefully. After reading up on plant care on the site I repotted them and they are doing well, growing new flytraps and eating little bugs that come their way. No complaints so far!

    Very impressed

    Posted by David Rude on November 11, 2018

    I have never tried growing Venus flytraps for some reason and I am very impressed with the quality and resilience of the two I purchased a few weeks ago. They are thriving and growing very well.

    I enjoyed meeting Jeff at the ICPS conference and chatting over dinner on Sunday. The plants I have bought this year from you have all done very well. Much success to you in the future and I hope Norma Addington does well, I'll buy a piece in a few years, lol! -- Best, Dan Walker
