Drosera capensis 'Alba' (potted)

Drosera capensis ‘Alba’ – Striking White-Flowered Cape Sundew

Drosera capensis ‘Alba’ is a stunning tropical sundew cultivar notable for its pure white flowers, which contrast beautifully with its slender, sticky, insect-trapping leaves. Like the classic Cape Sundew, it forms rosettes of narrow, tentacle-covered leaves that glisten with dew-like mucilage to capture prey.

This easy-to-grow carnivorous plant typically reaches 6 to 12 inches tall and wide and thrives in warm, humid conditions year-round.
