Drosera ‘Hercules’ is a sundew hybrid of D. capensis ‘Albino’ and D. aliciae. While its overall appearance resembles that of a Cape sundew, the D. aliciae parentage is also apparent through the broad shape of the leaves. D. ‘Hercules’ is a vigorous grower and was officially registered as a cultivar in 2018.
