Drosera capensis ‘Montagu Pass’ is a Cape Sundew originally collected from Montagu Pass in South Africa. It is easy to care for and and may produce plantlets as it grows. The leaves are covered with tentacles (trichomes) that secrete a sticky “dew” containing enzymes to attract, catch, and digest prey.

Beautifully groomed jewel of a plant, healthy root system, retained much of its dew. It’s been with me a week and is settling in well, new fronds unfurling.
