The Broad Leaf Sundew, Drosera latifolia, is endemic to and widespread in the Brazilian highlands. It is a low-growing, compact, rosette-forming sundew with dark red coloration in full sun. It is very pretty, and easy to grow. It is a subtropical sundew with leaves year round. It tolerates a wide range of growing conditions, but prefers open, sunny, boggy conditions in peaty soils. The flowers are small and pink with several on a scape, but usually only one is open at a time. It is self-fertile, and generously produces seeds that can be sown immediately or stored in cool, dry conditions for a year or more. It easily makes leaf and root cuttings.

Worst plant I’ve ordered so far.

Got sent a extra small plant for 15$. Out of all the places I’ve ordered from this has been the worst. Going to need perfect conditions to get this plant to grow. You are better off going into a discord and paying an extra 5 dollars for a real plant. Considering this is a 15 dollar plant you would expect to get a medium sized plant.

Awesome

Ordered a small, potted version of this plant. I was a little worried about it, because it was delayed in transit, but it showed up looking great. It was carefully packaged, and had 0 damage on arrival. Very happy with it.

Broad Leaf Sundew

As background, I grow D.rotundifolia, D.filiformis, D.binata and D.roseana. This plant looked interesting and easy. One picture is just the day it arrived, potted and packed amazingly well, and just after careful unwrapping. The second picture is one month later, many new leaves, a second crown growing out. It has just been moved outside. Very nice plant, I can recommend it. I am very satisfied.
