Venus Flytrap – Dentate

$25.00

This beautiful plant will arouse curiosity and a dash of colour to your garden. The triangular teeth around the edges of the traps makes this cultivar look dangerous indeed! The triangular teeth do a great job of resembling the teeth of sharks and this cultivar is often referred to as ‘Sharks Teeth’. During early spring the interiors of the traps are green in colour. As the days get warmer the traps transform to various shades of red. What’s interesting is that the outer edges of the traps stay green which provides a nice contrast and accentuates the outline of a mouth with teeth. The leaf bases are thin and grow vertically during the spring / summer months. As autumn / winter progresses the traps form closer to the ground. This plant develops traps up to 2 cm in length and is a moderately fast grower. As with all Venus Flytraps it looks after itself when it comes to attracting and catching insects …especially flies.
