Drosera hilaris


Question
Jeff,

Do you have experience growing Drosera hilaris? Would you consider this particular South African species a winter-grower like D. pauciflora or cistiflora, or a tropical/sub tropical plant?

Thanks,

Derick

Answer
Hi Derick,

I would say they are a winter grower.  We had a batch that grew very well when the greenhouse was cool in the winter under lights, but really waned in the summer when it got hot.  They don't seem to die down the way D. cistiflora does, but growth almost stops when hot.

Good Growing!
