Cephalotus

Darlingtonia

Our selection of carnivorous plants varies from year to year. Species belonging to the Drosera & Sarracenia genera are usually propagated by division here at our nursery. Other species, such as those belonging to the Heliamphora & Nepenthes genera, are imported from nurseries outside of Canada. These plants are normally propagated by seed or tissue culture. All of our importations are accompanied by the required documents (phytosanitary certicate & CITES documents). Our shipments are also inspected by the CFIA upon arrival. Please email us to check our current availability.

Dionaea

Our nursery & greenhouse are open to the public for retail sales throughout the year. However, our hours of operation change with the seasons. Please visit our About Us page to check our current retail schedule.

Note: Some carnivorous plants such as North American Pitcher Plants and Venus Flytraps are native to temperate climates. These plants require a winter resting period and are in a dormant state from November to March. Temperate carnivorous plants are at their showiest from spring until early autumn.

Drosera

We ship carnivorous plants across Canada throughout the year. Winter shipments require the inclusion of a heat pack for additional protection. As a precautionary measure, we recommend delaying the shipment of particularly sensitive plants such as Lowland Nepenthes until mid-spring

Please visit our Ordering page for additional shipping & purchasing information.

Note: at this time, we do not ship outside of Canada.

Heliamphora

With the exception of Antarctica, carnivorous plants are indigenous to every continent on earth. Their habitats range from the steamy jungles of Borneo to the chilly bogs of northern Canada. Despite this wide variation in climate and geographical location, the habitats of carnivorous plants often exhibit obvious similarities. Typically, the soil of a carnivorous plant habitat is nutrient-poor. These plants have adapted to this environment by using insects and other creatures as their main source of nutrients (in addition to photosynthesis).
