New Sundews
We have 2 new Sundews at the nursery. The classic Forked Sundew and a new White Sundew. Nice!
Drosera binata – Forked Sundew

Deciduous Carnivore (Evergreen if Grown Indoors)
Sun: Partial to Full Sun
Water: Daily, Distilled Water Best
Size: Draping, 12- 18″ leaves
Dew covered multi-forked leaves turning bright red in the sun. Sticky dew captures insects. It forms a large insect-catching bush. Best grown in 50/50 peat moss and sand. Also grows well in standing water. Hardy to 25F.
Drosera capensis “Alba” – White Sundew
Native to South Africa
Perennial Carnivore
Sun: Partial to Full Sun

White leaves are covered with sticky hairs, will move like tentacles to capture and digest insects. Thrives in hot and humid conditions, but can be grown outside.
