This plant arrived in good condition. It was larger than I thought it would be. In a few days in it had plenty of dew on it.
It’s been a month since purchasing and is happily growing on my deck in Connecticut. Color is beautiful.
See below for a full description.
This dewthread is a sister of Dreamsicle. However, Creamsicle is not registered as a cultivar. Aside from that, it grows very similarly to Dreamsicle. It has thread-like leaves, forms clumps easily, and thrives in very sunny, warm conditions. The main difference is that its leaves are less intense than those of Dreamsicle.

Healthy Plant
When I initially received the Drosera Creamsicle, it was exiting the dormancy period. It's already standing tall and has pushed out lots of growth. It's absolutely riddled with dews to the point that it grabs up any dandelion puff that floats it's way. Care instructions were included as well. Just an all around fun plant to have in your collection.

DROSERA 'CREAMSICLE'
I received my sleepy specimen early April. I appreciated the plastic dome over the pot; it was labeled 'Waking Up,' which was both cute and reassuring. One month later, my teeny tiny Drosera is stretching and unfurling, and the 'Creamsicle' colors are absolutely stunning. The growth (arms? tentacles?) is quite something to behold!
