...what are the characteristics of that cultivar?

I'm not sure yet. This is my first full growing season with the "Low Giant," and my small group of the named variety aren't fully mature yet. The traps will become larger I'm sure; I have larger traps on other plants including some of the Banded, Vigorous and Triffid Traps.

I really like this plant though. The Low Giant does seem to grow more close to the ground even in hot summer weather and not get so gangly and leggy. It is also developing some nice fairly intense red coloration in the traps despite being well fed. It is becoming one of my favorites, although I tend to like all VFTs.
