Compact rosettes with vivid red tentacles Drosera aliciae is a popular South African sundew prized for its neat rosette growth and bright, sticky tentacles. The rounded leaves form a low, symmetrical rosette, with colour intensifying from green to deep red when grown in strong light. This species is fast-growing, floriferous, and very forgiving, making it an excellent choice for beginners while still being rewarding for experienced carnivorous plant growers.
