Dionaea muscipula Dreamsicle (Shipped Bare-Root)

Dreamsicle is a colorful and sought-after cultivar that lives up to its name with vibrant orange and creamy peach tones — a welcome departure from the standard green and red look most flytraps are known for.
Coloration: The main draw. Trap interiors develop a striking orange-red to peach hue that can appear almost neon or glowing under high light, reminiscent of an orange creamsicle. The effect is unlike any standard red cultivar.
Teeth: Long and slender with a classic profile, keeping the focus entirely on the trap color rather than dentition.
Growth Habit: A low-growing prostrate variety that hugs the ground, making it an excellent choice for wide shallow bog pots where the color can spread across the surface.
Seasonal Shifts: Orange tones peak during midsummer when UV levels are highest. In lower light or during shoulder seasons the plant may shift toward more traditional greens and reds.

Care Requirements

Light — 6+ hours of direct sun daily. A south-facing window or outdoor placement in full sun is ideal.

Water — Pure water only, under 50ppm dissolved solids. Use distilled, reverse osmosis, or collected rainwater. Most tap water will not work. Keep roots sitting in a shallow tray of water.

Soil — Pure peat moss or long-fiber sphagnum, with optional perlite or sand added for drainage. Garden soil will not work.

Dormancy — Required. Allow 3 to 4 months of cold dormancy each winter for long-term health.

Hardiness — Zones 7–10 outdoors, or overwinter indoors in a cool location.

Shipping & What to Expect

Our bare root Dionaea muscipula (Venus flytraps) are shipped according to their natural growing cycle. During the active growing season (spring through early fall), you'll receive a plant with live traps, often in vibrant color. In the winter months, Venus flytraps naturally enter dormancy and will be shipped without leaves or with small winter rosettes — this is completely normal and essential for the plant's long-term health.

Please note that the plant and photo shown are representative of the variety but not the exact plant, size, or stage of growth you will receive. You will receive one plant; photos may occasionally show multiple plants for reference. Each plant is unique, and we guarantee a healthy, established plant ready to grow.
