Premium Cobra Lily Seeds - Ornamental Carnivorous Plant

Cobra lily is a perennial carnivorous plant native to cold, nutrient-poor wetland habitats, typically found in seepage bogs and cool flowing water areas. It grows in acidic soils with constant moisture and low nutrient availability. The plant develops distinctive tubular, hooded leaves that trap insects for nutrition. It requires stable cool root conditions and is best suited for specialized bog gardens or controlled environments that replicate its natural growing conditions.
