These Sundews have grown more than a foot in size since they arrived so very well packed, and just covered with dew.
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.

Sunlight: Partial to full sun during the growing season.

Always a standard in my collection
This sundew is always a standard in my collection. It will never be phased out. These sundews as well as other sundews are beautiful from a distance and look like they have morning dew all the time and it's only when you come close do they really show they can catch insects! I'm always amazed from time to time what they are capable of catching especially when grouped up together! RECOMMENDED without a doubt.
