Dionaea muscipula ‘Cupped Trap’ was registered as an official cultivar in 2004. It produces small traps that are fused at the far end creating a distinct cup shape. Despite the unusual shape of the traps, they are still effective at catching and retaining prey. See size description below.
Description

If selecting with soil mix, you will receive two cups of our prepackaged Carnivorous Plant Soil Mix in addition to the bare root plant. This quantity of soil is roughly enough to fill one 2.5 x 2.5 x 3.5 inch square pot.
