Dionaea muscipula 'DC XL'

Plant Description

Dionaea 'DC XL' boasts traps that are remarkably large, and comparable in size to those of Dionaea 'B52', which are considered the largest traps among all Dionaea cultivars. In the spring, it breaks its dormancy by producing numerous upright leaves that can reach up to 13 cm in length. The leaves of mature specimens bear traps that regularly exceed 5 cm in length. Although it produces several impressive upright leaves throughout the summer, none are as large as the initial spring foliage. Towards the end of summer and into autumn, Dionaea 'DC XL' reverts to producing smaller, prostrate foliage.

The leaves of this cultivar are a bright yellowish-green colour, with the inner surfaces of the trap lobes displaying a striking reddish hue. In all aspects, the morphology of this cultivar is consistent with that of the wild-type Dionaea muscipula.

Named after originator D. Conners.
