A fully grown Drosera tracyi is truly impressive. When conditions are right, it forms a dense clump with leaves nearly 20 inches long. While its leaves may not curl around insects like other sundews, it has a strong appetite for flies of all sizes. It's almost like having renewable flypaper. In winter, the leaves die back, and the plant develops a resting bud at soil level. Growth will start again in mid-spring.

    Great plants!

    I’ve had my plants for a month now, and I followed the directions in the book that that came with them. I have been letting them enjoy our Texas sunshine, and they have adapted so well that they have outgrown their containers. I was hoping that I wouldn’t have to repot them for a year per the booklet I received, however, they are so healthy and are enjoying the Texas climate that they have outgrown their containers and I will have to repot them before they go into dormancy. They are getting so big! I am so happy that I have these plants! They are all gorgeous and they are all enjoying all the flies from my chicken coop!

    2 different Drosera to replace 2 others I bought elsewhere. Those never did anything. This tracyi was a very nice size and started growing immediately.

    I have always been very pleased with the quality of your plants, and the care with which they are packaged. I have never had a plant arrive in anything less than perfect condition. Thanks!
