Small, but eye-catching, Drosera brevifolia x tokaiensis is dark red in color with silver glistening "dew". It forms a rosette of spoon-shaped leaves of crimson red frequently with young plantlet emerging from its roots forming a colony of large clumps. It is an easy grower. It prefers open, sunny, boggy conditions in peaty soils. The blossoms are sterile and pink on multi-flowered scapes. Typically there are several scapes at a time, and they are long lasting. It can flower at different times of the year, but more profusely in the summer months. Allow for a winter rest for best growth. This hybrid is an excellent little terrarium plant. It is easy to grow, and is a great beginner's plant. This selection comes from leaf cuttings, and are genetically identical to the parent.
