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.

Great plants
It's impossible to plan on the climate in the NE these days. I am glad that you ship your plants so well protected. they went right into my small greenhouse to wait until spring actually arrive here in New England, and are doing really well.

Growing well
This plant does not like the texas heat too much, so was slow to start growing, but now is doing great. It is in the shade of the taller plants to help cool it. VERY nice plant
