This particular variety of Drosera capensis is known for its pink coloration when exposed to high intensity light and for growing much bigger than the average Cape Sundew, hence the name ‘Big Pink’. It is easy to care for and may produce plantlets as it grows. The leaves are covered with tentacles (trichomes) that secrete a sticky “dew” to attract and catch prey.
