Dionaea m. 'Red Dragon' Potted

Also known as 'Akai Ryu', 'Red Dragon' is an absolutely stunning cultivar of Dionaea!

When grown in bright light, the entire plant is deep dark maroon, almost black.  It can also reach enormous size on long summer petioles.  'Red Dragon' is a must have for the serious flytrap collector!  Try potting it with a contrasting color like a lime green Dionaea m. 'Gremlin' or a bright green Sarracenia flava.

PLEASE NOTE VENUS FLYTRAPS GO DORMANT FROM OCTOBER-FEBRUARY during this time they appear quite small and grow few traps.  They will begin to grow vigorously again in Spring. This particular cultivar goes dormant very hard and dies back almost completely.
