Dionaea muscipula 'Akai Ryu' (Red Dragon Fly Trap)

SunZone: 5-9 4" tall Origin: USA

Green fly traps are from Venus. Red fly traps are from Mars! This spectacular and vigorous 1997 introduction from the Atlanta Botanical Garden is the result of years of line-breeding by carnivorous plant guru Ron Gagliardo. Dionaea 'Akai Ryu', which means "red dragon", has bright red stems ending in carmine-red traps. This is truly a stunning conversation piece either in a container garden or when grown in a bog garden. Royalties from each sale go to the endangered species conservation program at the Atlanta Botanical Garden. Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml)
