Drosera capensis 'Albino' is a perennial carnivorous plant that develops a rosette of narrow leaves, reaching lengths of up to 6 cm. These leaves are adorned with glandular hairs that are either green or red, allowing them to capture and digest prey. From spring through autumn, and occasionally into winter, this variety produces white flowers measuring up to 2 cm in diameter on stalks that can grow as tall as 30 cm.

Drosera, often referred to as sundews, ranks among the largest groups of carnivorous plants. These herbaceous plants can be perennial or, less commonly, annual. They typically develop either prostrate or upright rosettes and have the potential to survive for as long as 50 years.

Drosera capensis, commonly known as the narrow-leaved sundew, is a perennial carnivorous plant that can reach heights of up to 15 cm. It forms clusters of basal rosettes featuring elongated, spoon-shaped leaves measuring between 3 and 6 cm in length, all situated on short stems. The leaves are green and adorned with red, sticky hairs that are glandular in nature, enabling them to effectively capture and digest insects. There is also a variant with red foliage available for cultivation. From spring to autumn, and sometimes extending into winter, this plant produces racemes that can grow to 30 cm tall, bearing 6 to 20 rose-pink flowers, each around 2 cm wide.
