Drosera aliciae is a perennial species known for its carnivorous characteristics. It features spoon-shaped leaves that can measure up to 25 mm in length and 7 mm in width. These leaves are densely arranged, forming a basal rosette that often develops into a mound, reaching heights of 1.5 to 4 cm due to the accumulation of older, dead leaves. The foliage is primarily green but may take on shades of orange to red under bright light conditions. The upper surfaces of the leaves are adorned with red, sticky glandular hairs that effectively capture and digest insects. During the summer months, this plant produces a single flower stalk that can rise up to 4 cm tall, typically bearing between 2 to 12 individual flowers that are deep pink in color and open sequentially from the bottom to the top.

Drosera binata subsp. dichotoma is a perennial carnivorous plant that can reach heights of up to 30 cm. It develops a rosette of upright, slender leaves, each divided into two lobes that can grow as long as 15 cm. The surface of the leaves is adorned with glandular hairs, which are either green or red, enabling them to capture and digest prey. In summer, the plant produces white flowers measuring up to 2 cm in diameter, borne on stalks that rise above the leaves.

Drosera capensis is a perennial carnivorous plant that remains green year-round. It features rosettes of elongated, spoon-like leaves that are adorned with glandular hairs that range from red to pink, serving to capture and break down insect prey. From spring through autumn, and sometimes extending into winter, it produces clusters of pink blossoms.

Drosera capensis

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 capensis 'Albino'

Drosera capensis broad leaf form

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.
