Hercules is a selected cross of Drosera capensis var. alba and Drosera aliciae. It is noted for its stout, wide, oar-shaped leaves and large growth habits. An adult plant can have a leaf span of 8 inches. Provide mild temperatures and bright sunlight to appreciate the full potential of this plant. While we recommend growing as a tropical plant, we grew one plant outdoors at our nursery (USDA Zone 8) for a couple of years. It shed its leaves in winter and came back in spring. Surprisingly tough little guy.

    I figured since its winter they would be more dormant, but they have already sprouted new stalks (if that the correct term) and ate growing great

    It arrived in great shape and was packaged well. The plant itself is gorgeous and a good sized specimen, not a tiny seedling like some places sell.
