Cape Sundew (Drosera capensis × spatulata) is a hybrid carnivorous plant prized for its shimmering, dew-covered tentacles that trap small insects. It’s hardy, easy to grow, and forgiving for beginners, thriving in bright, indirect light and consistently moist conditions. This hybrid combines the vigor of D. capensis with the compact, rosette form of D. spatulata, making it a beautiful and efficient gnat catcher.
