Description: Taublatt 51:22 (2005) (in German)

"The intensely dark red colouration has baptized [Dionaea ' Red Burgundy ' {M.Erbacher & M.Stoeckl}]. The comparatively strong and rapid (for a red cultivar) growth, the trapping leaves up to 5 cm large, and the up to 15 cm long petioles of the summer rosette are typical characteristics. The unusual dark red colour intensity makes this cultivar so exceptional. Even under normal light conditions the plant attains full colouration, which reaches an optimum with increasing sunlight and temperatures. At the end of summer and under corresponding growth conditions the plant colours particularly strongly dark red (burgundy). The winter leaves appearing in autumn are short petioled and wider. Smaller traps are formed and the red colouration retreats due to enhanced chlorophyll production."
