Dionaea muscipula 'A2'

Plant Description

The Dionaea 'A2' is a specific cultivar with a direct link to one of the most famous giant venus flytraps. Henning von Schmeling created this plant in the early 2000s. It originated from a group of seven seedlings. These seedlings came from the self-pollination of a plant he called 'Carolina Giant'.

He named these seedlings in order of size, from largest to smallest. The 'A1' seedling later became the well-known Dionaea muscipula 'B52'. This makes the 'A2' a sibling plant to the 'B52'.

The 'A2' is a large plant. Its traps can grow up to 5.5 cm long. This places it among the biggest Venus flytrap cultivars. The plant has a low-growing habit. It produces decumbent leaves and traps all year.

With strong sunlight in late summer and autumn, the trap interiors develop a deep red colour.
