Germinating Drosera sessilifolia Seeds

Drosera sessilifolia seeds require no cold stratification. Sow on a peat-based mix and keep moist. They behave like D. burmannii but prefer cooler conditions. They are annuals: they grow, flower, set seed, and die in one season. Collect seed for the next generation. See D. burmannii guide for details.
