A true American classic. Native to the coastal plains of North Carolina, this plant is often a person's first introduction to carnivorous plants. It's a small plant, rarely growing larger than 4 inches in diameter. As a U.S.-native, it grows best outdoors in full sun during the growing season. In fall, it slows down and prepares for winter dormancy. While dormant, it can withstand an overnight frost down to 20°F. Growth resumes in spring.
