Sarracenia Purpurea
The hardiest Sarracenia, growing along the east coast of North America and into Canada, it keeps it’s pitchers in winter, with a new crop joining them in the spring. This plant even eats slugs! Small ones, but a large slug will eat it so it works both ways, but at least the plants are fighting back. Supplied in a 1ltr pot.
Sarracenia ‘Wrigleyana’
Sarracenia ‘Wrigleyana’ is a cross between Leucophylla and Psittacina. It’s pitchers curl over at the top, light shines through the white windows tempting flies into what appears to them to be an opening, only unfortunately for them it is a rapid fall to the pitchers depths! Supplied in a 1ltr pot.
Dionaea muscipula (Venus fly trap)
Dionaea muscipula the Venus fly trap is happiest with a nice juicy fly between it's fangs! These are not difficult plants to grow as long as a few rules are followed the first is that traps must not be made to close empty, which of course is the magic of these plants, but each leaf will only close a limited amount of time and then die off so making it close without that juicy fly is basically starving it to death, so you must go fly hunting and feed them if you want to see them perform this trick! Keep them damp at all times , wetter in the summer and in full sun, if you live in a hard water area use rain water. If you don't want seed ,don't let them flower as it will weaken the plant.
Plants are supplied in a 9cm pot
