A deep red form of the classic Cape Sundew from South Africa. Under strong light, the entire plant flushes crimson from stem to tentacle tip. Each leaf is lined with glistening, dew-tipped glands that trap fungus gnats and other small insects on contact. One of the most visually striking sundews in cultivation and one of the easiest to grow.
Seed-grown plants. Produces tall racemes of small pink flowers throughout the growing season.
