As the name suggests, this form of Drosera filiormis is native to Nova Scotia where winters are downright frigid, so it is accustomed to a short growing season and chilly winters. It comes out of dormancy later than other forms of D. filiformis and is slightly shorter. In late August, it will cease growing and its leaves will die back. The plant will eventually form a resting bud sitting at soil level. Growth will resume in spring.
Type of Plant: Outdoor perennial for container growing.
Leaves: Up to 4-6 inches at maturity.
Sunlight: Partial sun during the growing season.
Water: Low-mineral water (50 ppm or less).
