Dionaea muscipula King Henry Flytrap
$14.95
$11.95
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!
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.

King Henry Flytrap
This has to be the healthiest and easiest flytrap I've ever purchased and grown! Directions were clear and concise and I have numerous traps growing. Traps came in perfect condition. Looking at what my next purchase will be! Wish I could submit a photo.

Plants are thriving!
When my 13 year old daughter wanted to order a King Henry Flytrap, I was very skeptical. We purchased 2 plants and I am happy to report that both are thriving! Plants are very healthy and surprisingly easy to care for. Thank you for quality products!

Great Plant!
This is my first carnivorous plant and it has been a great experience. More traps are popping up! I haven't seen it eat any bugs yet (I'm in Minnesota which is still covered in snow) but the traps look promising.
