Drosera x “Creamsicle” Potted

This hybrid is Drosera tracyi by Drosera filiformis v. floridana. This combines the exceptionally dewy, vigorous tracyi with the all-red Florida filiformis. These plants are richly covered in thick dew along olive-colored leaves with red tentacles. We thought this beautiful little plant deserved a better name so we’re calling it “Creamsicle” like the delicious orangey ice cream treats!

These plants go dormant from October to February and may arrive with little to no leaves.  The plants die back to the crown during this period and will grow again vigorously in spring.
