Drosera capensis ‘Bainskloof’ is a Cape Sundew originally collected from Bainskloof Pass in South Africa. It doesn’t grow as large as some other forms of D. capensis, but forms a stem over time with compact growth at the top. Older leaves can turn a lovely pinkish color under strong light, especially if the plant hasn’t been fed in awhile.
