Named for its natural habitat, the Cape region of South Africa, Cape sundews grow vigorously and produce large leaves at maturity. It's considered a mountainous plant, so it likes a very sunny window with mild temperatures. The broad leaf form has wider leaves than the more common narrow leaf form. It also grows more slowly than other forms of Cape sundews and is less tolerant of hot conditions. However, it matures into a larger plant overall.
