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.

Was not super excited about this but as my first sundew to add to my collection I have had a lot of fun watching this grow and catch everything that flys near it. I actually had to move it to a separate location in my yard because it was catching all the food for my fly traps! Turned out to be one of my favorite plants.
I received my order in good shape. State of the art packaging, Fast delivery and a fair price. You kids are the greatest. Patrick
Everything came out great
the shipping was great when i got it it lost its dew when i put it out side but the next day it gained it back i was very surprised it adapted to Arizona heat in one day it has lots of dew and its covers in white fly i couldn't be happier
I was a little worried about shipping sundews, but SNW pack their plants so well that the plant arrived stress free. I put them in my bog and both have taken off growing like crazy.
Arrived in very good condition and continues to flourish weeks later. The plant is very healthy, although. For those thinking of buying one, note that it's arms do grow long, about 6 inches in length and have a tendency to spread in all directions. So for those that have limited windowsill space, this might be a spacing concern.
Wasn't that excited for this plant when I ordered but now one of my favorites! New leaves unfurl almost daily and the colors are amazing. This thing is a mosquito and gnat catching machine! The long leaves can't open fast enough before they are coated with new insects. An exceedingly impressive plant that photos don't do justice
Both plants came in a timely manner and very well packaged. I would order again from your company.
It arrived healthy, covered with "dew", and in a timely manner.
This plant arrived in excellent condition. It was packed very well and, while it looked a little roughed up when I first opened it, within a few days it began growing new leaves and it produced plenty of dew. Over the past month it has grown a good deal and has even flowered and begun producing seeds. Overall it is a great plant.
excellent packaging and fast shipping. This is a wonderful plant catching bugs on our back porch.
Everyday I check on it I find at least two new bugs captured. It's already throwing up three flower stalks and I didn't think I would like this plant as much as I do.
