Drosera filiformis
Very healthy plant arrived quickly amd well-packaged. I have ordered numerous plants from this source and they alwys arrive in great shape.
This sundew has long thread-like leaves, which gives this plant its common name, dewthread. Long thin leaves slowly rise, standing tall and proud. Small drops of nectar glisten ever so slightly, reflecting the sun's rays and enticing insects to taste its sweet offerings. By the end of summers, the plant is flecked with trophies of its conquests. In winter, the plant will die back and form a resting bud sitting at soil level. Growth will resume in mid-spring.
Type of Plant: Outdoor perennial for container growing.
Leaves: Up to 8 inches at maturity.
Sunlight: Partial to full sun during the growing season.
Water: Low-mineral water (50 ppm or less).
Soil: Equal parts peat moss and perlite only.

DROSERA FILIFORMIS
This plant is spectacular! I've never seen so many mosquitos drawn to a plant! And the best part? They're all stuck! The customer service is top notch and they're really good at providing information about the plant and the care the plant needs. Couldn't be happier with my purchase! We've even got little flowers blooming on her! I will be purchasing more to fill a large pot with nothing but these plants! Highly recommend this business! :)

DROSERA FILIFORMIS
I am overjoyed with this little plant! She arrived in beautiful, healthy condition and is thriving in her new home. When she arrived, she did not have any dew on her leaves due to shipping, but will return within a couple weeks. When I received her, she already had a beautiful stamen covered in flower buds, so it'll be a treat to watch them grow and bloom! She's got a few babies growing out of the center already and is just a gorgeous plant! I have just ordered a Black Knight pitcher plant, so I'm very excited to see the one they intuitively choose for me, they did a great job choosing my baby sundew! Thank you all for cultivating and maintaining such beautiful species of carnivorous plants and giving us, as shoppers, a great experience with growing our own!

Plant arrived dormant and has not come out of dormancy.
Two stars because the plant has not yet come out of dormancy. So I really don’t know yet what will come of it. *** RESPONSE BY SARRACENIA NORTHWEST *** Yeah, these plants sure can take their time coming out of dormancy! We don't have any control over that. Patience is a definitely a trait needed when growing some of these outdoor perennials. Make sure to watch our monthly care videos. Only a few of our hardy sundews are waking up right now. Most won't wake up until the end of April.
