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.

    Red Dragon Flytrap

    I bought two of these flytraps and am very pleased with my purchase. They have continued to flourish and are not hard to care for at all. I would not hesitate to buy more from Sarracenia.

    Great fly traps!

    Posted by DAVID DAWSON on April 19, 2020

    I purchase a couple of red dragon fly traps and they are doing terrific! I followed the instructions that were written in the book and from what I can see these fly traps are doing very well. The condition that they arrived in was exemplary and I am very satisfied with the business from this nursery. I also ordered Spanish lavender from another nursery and it arrived in far worse condition! I could clearly see that this nursery loved these fly traps and that nursery packed up and shipped really poor quality lavender that died already. I give us a nursery five stars!

    little trap

    Posted by John Haggerty on June 24, 2019

    A healthy little plant arrived. I planted it with my other traps and it seems happy. It is losing some of its red, turning to green.
