This naturally occurring variety of Drosera capensis has very little, if any, red pigment. For most of the year, the tentacles are white. During the summer or in very bright sunny conditions, the tentacles become pink. When fully mature, plant can be 5 inches tall. As a cool-tropical species, this plant likes it sunny but cool. It may slow down significantly during the hottest parts of summer, but watch it take off again when the summer heat passes. Great for the first-time grower.

I ordered a white leaf Drosera Capensis and was surprised at how well packaged and cared for it was making my to me from across the country. There was lots of care and concern taken by Saracencia in getting the plant to me!
