Drosera burmannii (Beerwah, QLD, AUS) seeds 25+

Drosera burmannii is an extremely small rosetted sundew native to India, Southeast Asia, northern Australia, and South America, where it grows in open, seasonally wet sandy or lateritic soils. It forms a flat rosette of bright green to red leaves known for their extremely rapid snap response, adapted to exposed habitats that dry between rains. It is distinguished from similar species by its very short petioles (that's an understatement), broad triangular lamina, and notably fast-moving marginal tentacles. This wanna-be pygmy sundew is barely half an inch in diameter fully grown and has an extremely fast tentacle response to prey. This plant is an obligate annual, meaning it dies after flowering. Sometimes after the first flower, and sometimes after the third flower. Worry not, it will produce enough seeds to give you 50 new plants on its way out!

Seeds from the Drosera genus are extremely small, ranging between 0.25 and 3mm. Germination can take anywhere from 7-180 days, but generally occur within the first two weeks under optimal conditions. Cold stratification is not needed. I recommend sowing on a mix of washed peat moss and silica sand and keep them in high humidity until they sprout. 

This offer includes a packet of 25+ seeds per order. Seeds are wrapped in an origami paper envelope and put into a small plastic baggie. Please be careful when opening the packets as the seeds are extremely small (see photo(s)) Seeds are shipped in a padded, tracked envelope without a heat pack. I do not offer untracked shipping for seeds at this time.
