where are venus fly traps native

Venus flytraps are native to a very small area in the subtropical wetlands of the coastal plain of North and South Carolina in the United States, mainly within roughly 60–100 miles of Wilmington, North Carolina.

Native range in one glance

• Country: United States.

• States: North Carolina and South Carolina only (they are naturally found in the wild there and nowhere else).

• Region: Coastal Plain and Sandhills, especially wet pine savannas and boggy, sandy, nutrient-poor soils.

• Range size: A small radius (about 70–100 km / 40–60 miles) around Wilmington, NC.

Even though people now grow Venus flytraps all over the world as houseplants or in gardens, those are all outside their natural range; in the wild, they truly come from just that tiny slice of the Carolinas.
