Drosera natalensis is a sub-tropical rosette sundew native to South Africa. It is an another easy carnivorous plant to care for making it a good option for beginners. There has been some question as to whether D. natalensis and D. venusta should remain listed as separate species or combined into one due to their similarities. Please note: Some plants may arrive more green in color but will turn red under strong light.

You Deserve A 10! This is a sizable young plant, that was healthy and well-leaved out. It took being packaged, which was excellent, and travel very well. I have high hopes she will survive to make babies!
