Beautiful, unusual and wonderfully predatory.
Discover our collection of carnivorous plants – extraordinary plants that have evolved some of the most remarkable ways of surviving in the natural world.
From the snapping traps of Venus flytraps (Dionaea) and the elegant, insect-catching pitchers of Sarracenia, to the glistening sticky leaves of sundews (Drosera), carnivorous plants turn the traditional relationship between plant and animal on its head.
Each has evolved to thrive in nutrient-poor environments by capturing insects and other small prey, producing an incredible variety of traps, colours and forms in the process.
Carnivorous Plants for Beginners & Collectors
Whether you're buying your first Venus flytrap, adding another Sarracenia to an established collection, creating a carnivorous bog garden or searching for something a little more unusual, our collection includes plants for a range of growing conditions and experience levels.
Our carnivorous plant range includes:
-
Venus Flytraps – Dionaea muscipula
-
North American Pitcher Plants – Sarracenia
-
Sundews – Drosera
-
Different species, forms and cultivars
-
Young plants and established specimens
-
Seasonal and limited-availability plants
Many carnivorous plants are surprisingly straightforward to grow once their basic requirements are understood. Plenty of light, suitable nutrient-poor growing media and the correct water are the foundations of a healthy collection.
Grown for the Fascination of the Plants
Carnivorous plants have fascinated us for years – not simply because they catch insects, but because of the extraordinary diversity that exists within the group.
The architecture of a Sarracenia pitcher, the speed of a Venus flytrap closing around its prey and the jewel-like droplets covering a sundew are all examples of evolution producing wonderfully specialised solutions to difficult environments.
They're living natural history – and endlessly fascinating plants to grow.
Building Your Own Carnivorous Plant Collection
A collection can begin with a single plant on a sunny windowsill and develop into pots, outdoor bog gardens, greenhouses or entire displays containing numerous species and cultivars.
Different plants also change dramatically through the growing season, producing new traps, flowers and striking colouration.
Our available plants will change throughout the year as plants grow, divide and become ready for sale, so it's worth checking back regularly to see what's new.
Explore the collection and discover some of the plant world's most remarkable predators.
