Venus Flytrap (Dionaea muscipula)
Nature provides this remarkable plant with "traps" to lure and capture it's food. The traps are covered inside by tiny hairs and a sticky sweet smelling substance attractive to insects. When an insect touches the trigger hair, the trap is activated and closes around it's victim. After digestion of it's meal (whick takes several days), the trap will open again for a new catch. Keep moist at all times, rainwater or distilled water are preferred.

Purple Pitcher Plant (Sarracenia purpurea)
  • One of the easiest of all the carnivorous plants to grow
  • Hardy, zone 7-8. They can tolerate temperatures as low as 10-20 degrees F.
  • Excellent for the sunny deck, patio, water garden, house plant or terrarium

  • The plant you will receive is growing in a 3" pot as pictured.
