Cape Sundew - full plant, Heesch, Netherlands This is the 3rd species of Drosera I purchased. It is the most commonly cultivated sundew. I can confirm that it's very tolerant and easy to keep. This photo is from a few weeks ago, just after transport. In the meanwhile, it's looking a lot better. It seems a species that does not waste time being beautiful or extraordinary, it has a simple mission: grow as many leafs full of glandular hairs as the environment allows.

''Drosera capensis'', commonly known as the Cape sundew, is a small rosette-forming carnivorous species of perennial sundew native to the Cape in South Africa. Because of its size, easy to grow nature, and the copious amounts of seed it produces, it has become one of the most common sundews in cultivation.
