Ease to Grow: Easy Dormancy: Required Native Range: Wet Bogs of northern North America, Europe and Asia Zones: 2-6 (2-9) Drosera anglica, the Great or English Sundew is a large sundew (2"-6") from northern circumpolar regions. Its paddle-shaped leaves are lime green with long red sticky tentacles. It  prefers growing in and among sphagnum moss, where it keeps up with the fast growth of the moss. It does well growing with other bog plants, where it receives mottled sunlight. It does not tolerate temperatures over 80°F very well. It emerges late in the Spring and lasts throughout the Fall. It forms a hairless winter hibernacula (resting bud), which is best pushed down to the surface in early Spring for best growth. The small flowers are white on scapes with multiple blossoms. It flowers from June to September. It frequently produce abundant seeds, giving it a nice spreading habitat. Seeds need to be stratified (cold, damp winter storage). It is wide-spread in its range through North Amer
