This sundew has long thread-like leaves, which gives this plant its common name, dewthread. Long thin leaves slowly rise, standing tall and proud. Small drops of nectar glisten ever so slightly, reflecting the sun's rays and enticing insects to taste its sweet offerings. By the end of summers, the plant is flecked with trophies of its conquests. In winter, the plant will die back and form a resting bud sitting at soil level. Growth will resume in mid-spring.

Arrived in very good condition and continues to flourish weeks later. The plant is very healthy, although. For those thinking of buying one, note that it's arms do grow long, about 6 inches in length and have a tendency to spread in all directions. So for those that have limited windowsill space, this might be a spacing concern.
Wasn't that excited for this plant when I ordered but now one of my favorites! New leaves unfurl almost daily and the colors are amazing. This thing is a mosquito and gnat catching machine! The long leaves can't open fast enough before they are coated with new insects. An exceedingly impressive plant that photos don't do justice
Both plants came in a timely manner and very well packaged. I would order again from your company.
It arrived healthy, covered with "dew", and in a timely manner.
This plant arrived in excellent condition. It was packed very well and, while it looked a little roughed up when I first opened it, within a few days it began growing new leaves and it produced plenty of dew. Over the past month it has grown a good deal and has even flowered and begun producing seeds. Overall it is a great plant.
excellent packaging and fast shipping. This is a wonderful plant catching bugs on our back porch.
Everyday I check on it I find at least two new bugs captured. It's already throwing up three flower stalks and I didn't think I would like this plant as much as I do.
These Sundews have grown more than a foot in size since they arrived so very well packed, and just covered with dew.
My plant has grown another pitcher bigger than the first couple when i got it i leave it outside in full sun in tucson when temps go above 100 degrees and it is still thriving.
This sundew is always a standard in my collection. It will never be phased out. These sundews as well as other sundews are beautiful from a distance and look like they have morning dew all the time and it's only when you come close do they really show they can catch insects! I'm always amazed from time to time what they are capable of catching especially when grouped up together! RECOMMENDED without a doubt.
Came already covered with dew. Looks beautiful in my bog pot outside, planted with Venus Flytraps. Veey easy plant.
I have several large one's this guy is filling space vacated by non winter survivors
