Drosera intermedia

Ease to Grow: EasyDormancy: RecommendedNative Range: Wet Bogs and Pocosins of northern and southeastern North America, northern Europe and AsiaZones: 4-9 (3-10) Drosera intermedia or Oblong-leaved Sundew is sometimes called the Water Sundew, and for good reason. It loves extremely wet, saturated boggy conditions, often growing on floating mats, where it can grow its largest, 3+". It can tolerate long periods of submergence and will tolerate drier periods in the summer months. It is medium height with a dazzling display of glistening tentacles in full sun, giving it a silvery appearance. The spatula-shaped leaves are green with bright red tentacles. It emerges early in the Spring and lasts throughout the Summer and Fall. It forms a sturdy winter hibernacula (resting bud), which is best pushed down to the surface in early Spring for best growth. The small flowers are white with a tint of pink on scapes with multiple blossoms. It flowers from June to August and often forms young plantlets
