Dionaea 'King Henry' from Don Elkins is the largest Venus fly-trap cultivar we've ever seen. This vigorous fly trap clone, named after the equally huge King Henry VIII, reaches 6" tall with huge (for a fly trap) 1.5" long traps...yellow on the exterior with a contrasting reddish orange interior pad. As with all Venus fly traps, moist peat moss is a perfect growing media and remember, they must have a cold period in winter to survive.
