Little Shop of Horrors is a specialist nursery rooted in a long tradition of growing extraordinary plants. Formerly known as South West Carnivorous Plants, our nursery was established in 1986 and is proudly based in East Devon, in the heart of the UK countryside. For decades we have been dedicated to cultivating exceptional carnivorous plants, building a reputation for quality, knowledge and plants that truly thrive.
Our passion lies in the fascinating world of carnivorous plants. We grow and supply an extensive range including the much-loved Dionaea muscipula, better known as the Venus Flytrap, alongside a wide selection of Drosera (Sundews), Sarracenia (Trumpet Pitchers), Nepenthes (Monkey Cups), Pinguicula (Butterworts) and many other specialist and unusual species. Every plant is carefully grown with attention to its natural habitat, ensuring strong, healthy specimens suitable for both beginners and seasoned collectors.
Since 2024, we have expanded our range to include an exciting and diverse collection of cacti and succulents. From classic favourites such as Mammillaria and Gymnocalycium to bold architectural forms like Opuntia, Euphorbia, Pilosocereus, Stenocereus and Polaskia, our cactus and succulent selection reflects the same commitment to quality and character that defines our carnivorous plants.
Alongside plants, we offer a carefully curated range of specialist sundries. This includes our own bespoke compost mixes for carnivorous plants and for cacti and succulents, developed to provide the correct structure, drainage and growing conditions. We also supply seed kits and seeds, making it possible to grow these remarkable plants from the very beginning.
We supply both private customers and wholesale clients, working closely with garden centres and house plant shops throughout the UK. Whether you are discovering carnivorous plants for the first time, expanding a specialist collection, or sourcing distinctive plants for retail, Little Shop of Horrors combines decades of expertise with a love for the unusual, the beautiful and the botanically extraordinary.
