Drosera Capensis - Indigenous South African Carnivorous Plant - 10 Seeds Gladiolus BulbsDrosera is a genus in the Droseraceae family of carnivorous plants. Members of this family lure, capture and digest insects to supplement the poor mineral nutrition they obtain from their native soils. They are known as sundews because their glandular leaf hairs glisten like dew in the sun. Flowers are held far above the leaves on a long stem. They open in response to sun. This 15cm Sundew features long erect leaves with white, pink or red flowers.
