Its bright green traps are fringed with fine teeth and flushed deep red inside, and they close with the quick, satisfying snap that gives this variety its name. Native to the boggy wetlands of the Carolinas, the Venus Flytrap is one of the most recognisable carnivorous plants in the world, and 'Zipp' brings all of that interactive charm in a neat, collectable size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt makes a brilliant windowsill curiosity and a genuine talking point, equally at home on a bright sill or in a sunny spot outdoors through the warmer months. Fascinating for plant lovers and curious kids alike, it earns its keep by catching the odd passing gnat or fly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCare at a glance\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full sun.
