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.

    Large beautiful traps

    This is one of the most beautiful VFT's I've ever seen. The large red traps are eye catching and wonderful to look at adding beautiful color to my collection of VFT's

    Very pleased with how well the plants are packed for shipping. They emerge as if they were NOT shipped across the country in a stuffy box!

    Best friend for gardens

    Posted by William Potter on July 13, 2020

    Has drastically helped in my pest problem. Come from the southwest and could never get these little guys to survive. Moved to OR and beyond impressed with it not only surviving outdoors but thriving here. It was packaged in a very careful manner that ensured its safety in transport.
