This variety of Drosera filiformis resembles the typical form but has dark red leaves. Over time, the plant will develop a crown up to an inch across and leaves that reach up to 8 inches tall. Provide this plant with plenty of sunlight to keep its striking red leaves. Never underestimate how much this plant loves sunlight! Look for white flowers in early summer.

All 4 plants I ordered came healthy and are growing great!

Sarracenia is #1, HANDS DOWN!
Sarracenia is by far the best, when it comes to carnivorous plants. I accidentally came across their website about 6 months ago and ever since then I've been completely satisfied with the customer service, quality of the plants I've ordered/received and their knowledge and care of carnivorous plants. I recommend them over any other company. Keep up the great work!
