One word describes this plant - spectacular! Drosera multifida extrema is a type of fork-leaf sundew, and like its relatives, has long, slender, red leaves that branch out multiple times. But on this special plant, it's not unusual to see as many as 36+ points on each leaf!
This particular clone has genetic origins in Evans Head, a coastal colony of D. multifida extrema in New South Wales, Australia. Forks of the leaves, instead of extending laterally as in typical forms, are pointed outwards, away from the plant, forming a sort of cup-shaped web. It grows slower than the common form, remaining more compact and upright for longer before achieving the long, pendulous leaves that the variety is famous for. Give this plant lots of direct sunlight, and we mean lots! You cannot give this sundew too much sun. It loves growing in warm, bright windowsills with lots of direct sunlight. Use supplemental lighting if necessary.
