Best of all.
Never had one of these before. About six inches tall and growing with many filaments that are constantly covered with dew and insects.
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.

Sunlight: Partial to full sun during the growing season.

Great Plant
Just got this plant today with some others. It's still dormant, so the first leaves look small but good. They also have tiny drops of dew still too. The shipping was fast, and for the price, really good. Ordering again soon.

Great little plant
Ordered and this shipped as scheduled according to the site's shipping policy. It showed up in a box marked Live Plants and was well packaged. After removing the tape and cups and protection, I watered it and put it in the sun in the pot it was shipped in. It started getting dew within a couple days. Within a week, I replanted along side some VFTs I have and it has done really well over the past month. It's catching a lot of little bugs. Next, I'll look to add a small saracenia to my collection.

Sundew
My 8-year-old daughter is obsessed with carnivorous plants. When the sundew arrived it was dormant, but within a few days it looked great. After about a month, it's around 4 inches tall and looks very healthy. My daughter loves it and wants to add other sundews to her collection. I would definitely order again.
