Drosera tracyi
$24.95
This is the most common sundew worldwide, found in North America, Asia, and Europe. However, it's rare in cultivation. You won't see it at your local hardware store like the Venus flytrap. It is typically sold through specialty nurseries because it can be challenging to grow. It prefers bright, cool conditions and slows down significantly when it's hot outside. Cool nights keep this plant happy. Plant it in a slightly sheltered spot, like at the base of a Sarracenia. We've found that it grows best in live sphagnum moss, so we include some with every plant. In winter, its leaves die back, and the plant forms a resting bud at the soil level. Growth resumes in mid-spring.

Came quickly and in good condition. I was disappointed with how tiny it was. *** RESPONSE BY SARRACENIA NORTHWEST *** Thank you, Rusty, for your purchase! I'm sorry that the size of the plant disappointed you. This species is naturally small, so I'm not certain of the size you were expecting. It is also early in the growing season and these plants had just come out of dormancy a weeks prior to releasing them. Size is also a factor of temperature and sunlight. If it's too hot or too bright, this plant will produce shorter leaves. Try moving it to a cooler location. If you need further assistance, please let us know through the Ask The Growers page. Thank you!

While the plant did make it to us alive, it has very few functional leaves so it's been a slow process for it to recover from being shipped. I do see signs of growth though, and we know it's normal for it to have a shipping shock, so we're just being patient.

Drosera Rotundifolia
Thank you for your quick and quality plant and packaging. The little sundew arrived intact and is now popping out its forth leaf and happily sunning itself in its mini bog. I'll be coming back for more plants soon. Thank you!

Sundew
It was so TINY when it arrived, I'd thought something had gone amiss. I ringed it with sphagnum upon planting. It's since doubled in size, so I think it's gonna make it. *** RESPONSE FROM SARRACENIA NORTHWEST *** Thank you for your purchase! Yes, this plant is small in early season. It was just emerging from dormancy when it was shipped to you. It experienced winter dormancy outdoors at our nursery, not terribly far from you. Enjoy the plant!

Loved them
Bought three of them with another Sarracenia. They are bigger now more than they’re just arrived. They came in a good packaging, very healthy. Thank you so much. Will buy more Sarracenia species when available. God bless you all.

Oh Drosera, how I envy your dew
My Drowsy is perked up and tiny droplets of dew shine like diamonds. Oh Drosera, how I envy your dew! I read this specimen was finicky, but it is doing fine. It is a native to my area in WA, that may help? Thank you again!
