It is among the largest of all the North American sundews, and has faint rosy red colored tentacles. It is slightly smaller than either of its parents. It is quite noticeable from a distance and appears to shine reddish-pink. It gets a lot of attention at the Nursery. It prefers open, sunny bog conditions and does not grow in Sphagnum Moss. It can tolerate drier conditions than most sundews, and competes well with other non-carnivorous plants. It emerges late in the Spring and lasts throughout the Summer and Fall. It forms a large sturdy winter hibernacula (resting bud), which is best pushed down to the surface in early Spring for best growth. The numerous flowers are pink on tall scapes. It flowers from May to June. For maximum effect plant use mu
