Drosera x 'Dreamsicle' Potted

One of our favorite threadleaf hybrids, this plant is Drosera tracyi anthocyanin free by Drosera filiformis v. floridana, named ‘Dreamsicle’. It combines the all green, vigorous tracyi with the deep red Florida filiformis. This mix created a plant covered in orangey dew drops that sparkle a fiery orange in the afternoon sun! It has pale pink flowers. As a cultivar it should only be reproduced through leaf cuttings and the seed should be destroyed.

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.
