Drosera filiformis floridana
$24.95
This sundew has long, thread-like leaves, which give this plant its common name, dewthread. Long, thin leaves slowly rise, standing tall and proud. Small drops of nectar glisten slightly, reflecting the sun's rays and attracting insects with their sweet scent. By the end of summer, the plant is dotted with trophies of its conquests. In winter, the plant dies back and forms a resting bud sitting at soil level. Growth will start again in mid-spring.

Plant arrived dormant and has not come out of dormancy.
Two stars because the plant has not yet come out of dormancy. So I really don’t know yet what will come of it. *** RESPONSE BY SARRACENIA NORTHWEST *** Yeah, these plants sure can take their time coming out of dormancy! We don't have any control over that. Patience is a definitely a trait needed when growing some of these outdoor perennials. Make sure to watch our monthly care videos. Only a few of our hardy sundews are waking up right now. Most won't wake up until the end of April.

Drosera Filiformis
Plant came very well packaged and healthy and unstressed. It recovered and began producing “dew” within a couple of days. It also tolerates central Texas heat, humidity, and light ver well. It is definitely my most robust drosera.
