Drosera natalensis is a South African sundew native to KwaZulu-Natal (formerly known simply as Natal) it also can be found in Eswaniti, Leotho, Madagascar, and Zimbabwe, where it grows terrestrially in seasonally wet, sandy or peaty soils along seeps, marsh edges, and streambanks. It is a variable species, although generally it forms flat rosettes of broad, reddish-green leaves with a distinct central vein and copious red tentacles. The flowers are soft pink to magenta and are produced on slender, upright scapes throughout the warmer months. 

 

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 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.
