Darlingtonia are native to Oregon and California and are known for their twisting stems and mustache-esque "fangs". Insects are lured by the haunting prisms of light that dance through translucent spots on the hood. As they feast on the nectar exuded by the plant, they become trapped and fall victim to the Darlingtonia's carnivorous nature.
These plants were grown from seed harvested in 2022. Though they will add size over time, they are currently small, and a perfect selection for the grower seeking a compact option.
Darlingtonia growers should be able to provide the plant with the bright light and cool temperatures it prefers. If these conditions are met, this notoriously finicky plant can be grown with ease. This plant has been growing outdoors and will easily acclimate.
