Royal Catchfly is a captivating perennial that delights hummingbirds with its vibrant red blooms. It’s technically a carnivorous plant that's uniquely equipped with sticky flowers that trap ants and other small bugs to keep them from climbing and distributing the flowers. It does not gain any nutrition from its catch like other carnivorous plants. Trapped insects are broken down by enzymes so that they don't rot and damage the plant. Silene regia is endangered in some areas due to prairie loss, but is fairly easy to grow.

PLANTS MAY BE TRIMMED UPON ARRIVAL. We keep live plants trimmed for the health of the plant, and they may be cut before shipping. This does not harm the plant and actually makes it stronger and ready to grow for you when you receive it.
