Typical red VFT or VFT crimson tooth? NEED HELP CHOOSING!

I would (and did!) go for the Crimson Sawtooth. I think it's a more unique plant.

I too like the Crimson Sawtooth. I don't know of anywhere else in the US that you can get a red sawtooth plant right now. However, a typical red VFT is pretty unique too.

Sorry for hijacking the thread, but in general, are Sawtooth vigorous or slow growers? Do they get about as big as a regular flytrap or stay smaller like cupped trap?

I'd love to hear that it's more vigorous than dentate, imo the turtle of flytraps.

The registered cultuvar 'Sawtooth' is a quite vigorous grower. The "FTS Crimson Sawtooth" so far seems to be a smaller clone that divides a lot, similar to Bohemian Garnet.

'Sawtooth' gets very large. "FTS Crimson Sawtooth" seems to stay smaller, but I've only had plants growing in vivo for a few months now. I'm simply comparing it to other red plants that I've deflasked and that have gotten quite large in comparison.

Thanks Matt
