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.

Species that form resting buds in the winter to survive cold conditions, or annuals that overwinter as seed. All respond well to cultivation in 2:1 peat:sand, full sun and tray watering. All perrenial spp. (except D.intermedia 'Tropical form',) require a period of winter dormancy with reduced temps and water, when the plants die back to winter resting buds.

Tiny annual producing copious seed to survive until the next year. This species forms tiny scarlet rosettes and comparatively large, white flowers.

Hairy perrenial similar to D.brevifolia in appearance, but greener and larger with pink flowers in the autumn. A few white-flowering forms are also known.

Pretty and quite variable species widely distributed throughout Europe, Asia and N.America, even extending into Central and the very top of S.America, where it enjoys a tropical habit with no winter dormancy.

Probably the largest form of this species, this one grows into a very substantial shrublet in time, and one could almost be forgiven for confusing it with D.capensis!

Hardy, rosette-forming species distributed across most of the Northern hemisphere. White flowers in the Spring.
