Like Drosera Capensis, it is one of the most common sundews in cultivationThe plant forms small, tight rosettes of wedge-shaped leave, up to 5 cm in diameter. Under conditions of good lighting, the insect-snagging tentacles will become deeply coloured with anthocyanin pigments, which probably aid in its attraction of insect prey.
