Drosera Capensis 'Albino' (Cape Sundew) is a linear-leaved sundew renowned for its sticky leaves, which can grow up to 4 inches in length. This is an antho-cyanin free cultivar of Drosera Capensis, originating from wet seepages in the Cape Peninsula of South Africa. Known for its variability in appearance across different strains, growing Drosera Capensis is a fascinating journey into the world of carnivorous plants.

Sundews attract and capture insects with their adhesive leaves, breaking down and digesting their bodies for vital nutrients. Your purchase includes a bareroot plant, securely wrapped in damp paper towels, along with comprehensive care instructions.
