Drosera admirabilis is a sub-tropical rosette sundew native to South Africa. The tentacles (trichomes) of D. admirabilis can turn deep red if given strong light but may become more green in dimmer conditions. Over time, the plant can form a skirt of dead leaves several inches tall.

Wonderful company!! The company reached out to me via email on a Friday to let me know that they will ship my order the following Monday, so that my plant would not sit in a shipping depot over the weekend. I really appreciated that. Great customer service and a great plant. My lil’ sundew is doing well so far.
