Native to Australia and New Zealand, this dramatic and highly adaptable sundew is a terrestrial species often found growing in sandy soils near swamps, bogs, and coastal seepages. It is known for its forked leaves, which can divide multiple times to look like giant antlers or elk horns, reaching up to a foot in height. It produces tall flower stalks bearing showy white flowers and is a surprisingly hardy and vigorous grower that can catch larger insects! This variety is distinguished by having only two divisions per leaf tip by being one of the largest forms of this species. This species is currently being revised and may be split out into multiple distinct species in the near future. This registered cultivar has fewer anthocyanins than all other D. binata in cultivation, and as a result has an anthocyanin-free, nearly pure white look in low light. It has whiter leaves after dormancy and makes greener leaves the latter part of the growing season. This plant grows primarily as a T-form plant (leaves only fork once). Care for this carnivorous plant is simple. I recommend using a mix of 1:1 peat moss to perlite, using the tray method to keep the substrate constantly wet with water under 50 PPM TDS. I grow them outdoors in zone 8a in full sun, year-round. I don't fertilize these plants at all as they catch plenty of bugs on their own. Please note this plant will ship potted via USPS Priority Mail. Heat packs are not automatically included. I offer a 72 and 96 hour heat pack as additions. Please make sure to add one of these options before completing your purchase to be eligible for live arrival guarantee if your day time temperatures are below 45°F.
