The most well known species of carnivorous plants. Traps have a limited number of false alarms. Don't stimulate them too often. Artificially springing the trap drains the plant's energy.
The trap of the Venus Flytrap is one of Nature's most amazing marvels. The outer edges of the two clamshell-like halves are lined with nectar glands and stout bristles.
Includes a large variety of distinctive forms and sizes. Can be used in landscaping in climates that are mostly frostless. Interesting plants in raised beds or containers.
