This is it! THE LARGEST TRAPS WE'VE EVER SEEN! The challenger to B52 for the "world's largest traps" title. Out of the thousands of flytraps we have growing here at FlytrapStore, DC XL grows the largest traps of any flytrap we've ever grown. The first traps in spring are usually the largest and can approach 2 inches in size on a fully grown DC XL flytrap. In addition to being ginormous for a Venus flytrap, DC XL is also an extraordinarily hardy grower, more than any other type we know of. DC XL is a handsome hardy monster flytrap, and we learn to love it more and more as we watch it grow over the seasons. A giant monster of a plant. Grow one and judge for yourself! The "XL," in case it wasn't obvious, stands for X-tra Large. NOTE: The demand for DC XL is very high and supplies are extremely limited. We are propagating and growing DC XL as fast as we can to attempt to meet the very high demand. Learn More -
$49.95SD Kronos is a giant Venus fly trap grown from seed started in 2011 by Stephen Doonan. Steve describes the plant as: "The best Venus Flytrap of thousands grown from the Flytrap Ranch's own seed over the years." It is truly a giant flytrap, producing traps that are exceptionally large, on average. For us, the largest trap hasn't yet quite reached the size of the largest DC XL trap we've seen, but the traps are much larger on average throughout the season than most of the giant flytraps.

$18.95Pinnacle is a giant Venus flytrap variety that produces tall, robust leaves that grow nearly straight up in the summer and are topped with large traps on the ends of the leaves. Pinnacle also boasts graceful long cilia ("teeth"). Pinnacle was grown from seed by long-time Venus flytrap grower Dr. Samuel Vergio Miensinompe. Sam wrote that the typical trap of a fully grown Pinnacle is about one and three quarters inches. Sam states that Pinnacle traps can get as large as two inches, and sometimes they can pass the 2 inch mark by a few fractions of an inch when they are fully grown (that's about as big as it gets for Flytraps).
