Dionaea muscipula Koi (Shipped Bare-Root) Dionaea muscipula Sasquatch unusual compared to most wild-type

unusual compared to most wild-type plants where the leaf base is typically twice the trap length

This causes the trap lobes to close incompletely toward the base

particularly during the summer growing season — traps are held high and presented openly rather than hugging the ground

commands attention with its striking contrast of bright green foliage and deep crimson trap interiors

Dionaea muscipula Koi (Shipped Bare-Root) Dionaea muscipula Sasquatch unusual compared to most wild-typeKoi was named and introduced by Gerrit Gassmann of Gassmann Carnivores in Germany. It is grouped among the artistic cultivars for its aesthetic resemblance to the dappled patterning of Kohaku and Sanke koi fish. The standout feature is its variegated, marbled coloration traps display blotchy patches of bright orange red mixed with yellowish green or cream on the same lobe, creating a high contrast splotchy effect unlike any solid colored cultivar.
