So my 1st two VTF's grow at very different speeds. the King Henry is way out growing the Red Dragon. I assume this is normal? and some cultivars are just more vigorous growers. If so is there a list by vigor?

both same size at one time, and just had a lot of bad weather a little beat up =)

I wouldn't worry. I have a bog with five different cultivars, and they all grow, behave, and enter dormancy differently. It's actually neat to see the different behaviors. I don't know about any list, but I'd recommend "Coquillage" flytraps being at the slow end of the scale, while my "Korean Melody Sharks" grow much faster than the rest.

The reds don't have near as much chlorophyll as the greens so they compete in the race with a major handicap.

My red flytrap is one of my fastest growers.

Yes different cultivars seem to grow differently.

They also grow differently depending on your climate. I could have a flytrap that grows huge and vigorously and you could have the exact same cultivar and it grows slow and small with no real vigor.
