Venus's Flytrap, Venus Flytrap or Dionaea Dionaea muscipula , the famous Venus's Flytrap. This amazing plant is a native to a small region in the Carolinas. The Venus's Flytrap has fascinated people throughout history, including Thomas Jefferson, who corresponded with Timothy Bloodworth in order to obtain seeds of this most unusual plant. It is hardy to zone 7, we have over wintered them outside in our Central Virginia bog gardens for many years.
Flytraps grow well in the partial shade cast by the taller Sarracenia.
