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.

Great Plant
Just got this plant today with some others. It's still dormant, so the first leaves look small but good. They also have tiny drops of dew still too. The shipping was fast, and for the price, really good. Ordering again soon.

Great little plant
Ordered and this shipped as scheduled according to the site's shipping policy. It showed up in a box marked Live Plants and was well packaged. After removing the tape and cups and protection, I watered it and put it in the sun in the pot it was shipped in. It started getting dew within a couple days. Within a week, I replanted along side some VFTs I have and it has done really well over the past month. It's catching a lot of little bugs. Next, I'll look to add a small saracenia to my collection.

Sundew
My 8-year-old daughter is obsessed with carnivorous plants. When the sundew arrived it was dormant, but within a few days it looked great. After about a month, it's around 4 inches tall and looks very healthy. My daughter loves it and wants to add other sundews to her collection. I would definitely order again.

Awesome
Was not super excited about this but as my first sundew to add to my collection I have had a lot of fun watching this grow and catch everything that flys near it. I actually had to move it to a separate location in my yard because it was catching all the food for my fly traps! Turned out to be one of my favorite plants.

Look great
I was a little worried about shipping sundews, but SNW pack their plants so well that the plant arrived stress free. I put them in my bog and both have taken off growing like crazy.
