Giant Cobra Lily Seeds - Ornamental Carnivorous Plant

Giant cobra lily is a perennial carnivorous plant native to cool, nutrient-poor wetland habitats. It is found naturally in seepage bogs and cold flowing water areas where soil conditions are acidic and low in nutrients. The plant produces tall tubular, hooded leaves that function as insect traps. It requires consistently moist conditions and cool root temperatures, making it suitable for specialized bog gardens and controlled cultivation environments.
