Among carnivorous plants, Drosera capensis comes about as close as it gets to the full package. It manages to be showy and elegant while at the same time forgiving enough to surviv e just about anything. In the wild it lingers in the wet seeps of South Africa, where it is far less common than its reputation in cultivation would suggest. In a collection it proves prolific and reliable, flowering constantly, seeding around, and rewarding even the most casual care. Resilient yet unmistakably otherworldly with its glistening leaves, it has long been the perfect beginner’s carnivore. The plants offered here are well-established, seed-grown individuals raised to an appreciable size. Show more
