Excellent flytrap! It flowered as soon as I got it, and I decided to just let it do its thing. It’s beautiful! Packaging and shipping were also top notch.

It's a small plant, rarely growing larger than 4 inches in diameter. As a US-native, this plant grows best outdoors in full sun during the growing season. In winter, it shuts down for a short rest. Growth resumes in spring.

One month later
The flytraps arrived in healthy condition. I planted them in a good sized pot that sits in a plastic container to catch rain water and hold distilled water. It is one month later and they are doing well. I planted a rescue flytrap I purchased from Hone depot.

Hungry and bountiful
Caught a giant mayfly that barely fit in the trap on the first night. The legs were sticking out in the morning. Now it's sending up a flower

great plant!
I had given up on carnivorous plants, then I came across Sarracenia Northwest on YouTube, thank goodness! My plants arrived packed with care and came with written instructions! Will definately purchase from them again!

Spectacular Flytraps
I’ve ordered from Sarracenia many times and the plants are amazing. Fast shipping and perfect packaging. Ordered more flytrap babies this spring and they’re outside growing (growing fast) and eating already. I honestly can’t recommend Sarracenia enough. My particular area is GA and I have them in deep pots and soil from Sarracenia, always in a few inches of water and full blazing sun. Trust these folks and don’t be afraid to grow these spectacular carnivorous plants - they’re such a joy. And the videos you’ll revive through email are great too - love the cowboy hat ☺️
