Venus Flytrap Dentate Traps with Jagged Triangular Teeth for Bog Gardens and Bright Indoor Growing

The Venus Flytrap Dentate Traps cultivar brings distinctive jagged teeth to a bog garden, greenhouse or bright indoor growing space. Its short, stout triangular guard hairs give the traps their characteristic outline, while the green and red coloration becomes more deeply red in bright light.

This perennial suits growers who can provide consistently moist soil and seasonal dormancy. Young traps and traps formed early in the season may not yet display the cultivar's dentated teeth. Also known as Dente or Dentate, it grows 1–5 inches tall and produces white blooms from June to July.
