DESCRIPTION

This flytrap has red leaves and traps. Young plants are bright red all over. As it matures, it turns maroon with a green edge along the traps. Despite its attractive red leaves, it dislikes excessive heat. It also dislikes root disturbance, so we suggest repotting it only in late winter before the growing season starts. In fall, it slows down and gets ready for winter dormancy by dropping nearly all of its traps. While dormant, this plant can survive an overnight frost down to 20°F. Growth picks up again in spring.

The Red Dragon Flytrap is best suited for growers who have experience with the more common variety.

    Arrived in perfect shape and is now happily living in our garden. I will definitely buy from Sarracenia Northwest again. I couldn't be happier!

    Perfect

    Posted by Danette on June 7, 2015

    The plant arrived in perfect condition and was as described. It was dormant when I received it so now it's producing much bigger traps than it had.

    This fly trap is sooooo cool and easily my favorite! Lots of small traps. The photos don't do this this little guy justice as its color is really fantastic...I highly recommend! -OH and as with every order I've placed, it arrived in stellar condition!

    Love it!

    Posted by Joseph Jester on May 9, 2015

    Well-packed for transport, this plant has been growing quite vigorously since it arrived. I was also pleasantly surprised to note four distinct points of growth in the pot - one main, and three smaller. To top that off, the main growing point has been busy producing a flower for me to try my hand at seed harvesting. This plant is definitely a far cry from the "rescued" flytrap I started my collection with, and I don't think I could be happier with my purchase! Thanks!

    Big red traps

    Posted by Alan Cartagena on June 15, 2014

    Like the sawtooth, it has deep red coloration. By far this is the largest deep red fly trap I have growned! The largest I have seen was 1 inch and a half. Not bad at all! If you want a decent size deep red fly trap this is for you. Good grower.

    First Time Ordering

    Posted by SIERRA EMBERSON on May 13, 2014

    I was refered to Sarracenia NW by a loved one whom I ordered the "Red Dragon" for as a gift. Not only was ordering easy, it was delivered properly, on time, and the product was of exceptional quality. I could not have picked a better looking specimen myself. It arrived well protected, healthy and is growing beautifully. Thank you for providing quality service and species!

    Great flytrap

    Posted by Chris Daniels on May 5, 2014

    I got a Red Dragon during the winter sale, and received it in perfect condition. It was packed with care and handled the shipping very well. I've had it for a little over a month, and it's already growing large traps and is flowering. It turned out to be an excellent purchase!
