Mystery "Pretty Rosette" Drosera Identified as D. burmannii

Annual Species—Propagate by Seed Only

A grower had a fuzzy photo of a plant labeled "Pretty Rosette" from a 2011 order.

It's Drosera burmannii

An annual; vegetative propagation (leaf/root cuttings) fails. Collect seed for propagation. See Volume #2 DVD and The Savage Garden for details. Invest in education as well as plants.

Good Growing!
