"Small, yet mighty" is a befitting description of this compact sundew. An adult plant is no more than an inch across, but it's still powerful enough to capture small houseflies. When the plant senses an insect touching it, its tentacles will quickly move towards the insect to ensure its capture. This species was once thought of as an annual, mostly because it dies off in winter in the wild. In cultivation, the plant can live for a few years. Grow this plant in a very sunny, warm location. In summer, you may grow it outdoors, but bring it indoors before the frost of fall. The plant will self-propagate with seeds. Lots of seeds.

    Very happy with the plant and the delivery. It's already getting the red edging. I did have to build a cage for it, to protect it from bird attacks. Twice they plucked it out of the medium and dropped it in the pan of water it sat in.

    So far, Drosera burmannii has acclimated to my growing conditions. I intend to purchase other Drosera. Since I've had very good luck with your plants, a products list with tentative availability would be very helpful. (I haven't had as much luck with other nurseries, especially when shipping bare-root.)

    Must have!!

    Posted by Unknown on April 8, 2015

    It's like the plant never traveled. It's so healthy, leaf full of dew, and bigger than I expected. Its a great feeling to know that you'll always get a healthy plant from SN.
