Cape Sundew Carnivorous Plant - Drosera capensis

The Cape Sundew produces little pink flowers, long leaves, and red tentacles. Prey is attracted and then enveloped into a leaf that curls around the insects. Capes will reward you with their stunning beauty as long as you provide a sunny and boggy environment. Great for beginner plant enthusiasts!

Plant Size
