Description
Drosera capillaris, commonly called the pink sundew, is a captivating carnivorous plant native to the southeastern United States. It is known for its delicate, thread-like leaves, which are adorned with sticky glands that capture small insects. The plant displays a stunning array of colors, from vibrant green to deep red, especially when exposed to ample sunlight. It grows in wet, acidic soils and blooms with small, pink or white flowers on a tall, slender stalk. This sundew is a perennial plant, returning year after year under the right conditions.
