The world's widest selection of Carnivorous Plants and Seeds for sale on the web

A genus of over 100 species of sticky-leaved perrenials (and a few annuals,) distributed around the world in all climatic zones from the Arctic to sub-saharan Africa. Many are easily grown, and make excellent house plants if planted in peat:sand mix and stood in a saucer of rainwater on a sunny windowsill.

A pretty and easily-grown rosette-forming species with a number of often very different forms from different locations. Cultivation exactly as for temperate spp. listed above, except for dormancy which is not required. Self-seeds in the manner of D.aliciae (if anything even more aggressively!) Half-hardy, but best kept frost-free.

Delicate green rosettes with a yellowish sparkle, producing abundant small, white flowers on very long, slender, pale green scapes, reddening slightly after much sun. Certainly my favourite form.

Compact red rosettes.

White-flowering form with red-orange leaves more oar-shaped than spathulate.

A small, red form, the fine, red, leaves spathulate, tending to cuneate, producing 1 or 2 delicate white flowers on short scapes.

Probably the commonest form of this species producing 2-3 inch rosettes of green leaves with red tentacles and abundant pink flowers borne on long scapes.

Similar to the Kansai form, but slightly smaller with shorter scapes

Another white-flowering form from New Zealand

Strikingly crimson rosettes of typically spathulate leaves, with many white flowers produced on long scapes.

Very similar to the Kansai form, but hairier and with darker green leaves.

More elongated leaves that are typically paddle-shaped rather than spathulate. A slightlier fussier plant than the previous forms, wanting higher humidity and less waterlogged soil.
