See below for a full description.
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.

The plant shipped and looked great! Its going into dormant season where I live and where this will be planted so I am excited to see what spring brings. I even asked a question which was handled professionally and so thoughtfully. Really appreciate all you all are doing!

Larger than expected!
As always with Sarracenia Northwest I am very impressed. The shipping was fast and it appeared they put a lot of effort into the packaging. The plant arrived healthy. After having the plant for three and a half months, it has grown like a weed. Will continue to shop at Sarracenia Northwest.
