Drosera x tokaiensis
A naturaly occuring cross of D. rotundifolia and D. spatulata, originating in Japan, where the native ranges of both parent species intersect. Looks very similar to spatulata and does not go dormant, so it's often mislabeled as a true spatulata. Tiny hot pink flowers on very long stalks. Self fertile and self seeds like it wants to take over the world. You get 4 adult plants per portion, plus seedlings. This sundew is so tough it's often a weed in collections. So, definitely a good choice for a begginer.
A naturaly occuring hybrid of D. rotundifolia and D. spatulata, originating in Japan, where the native ranges of both parent species intersect. Looks very similar to spatulata and it's often mislabeled as a spatulata. Unlike rotundifolia it does not need dormancy, but can go dormant in low temperatures even if it doesn't form a hibernaculum. Our greenhouse drops to just above freezing in winter and I haven't ever seen Drosera tokaiensis go dormant.
Tiny hot pink flowers on very long stalks. It's a self fertile autohexaploid, which basically means it self seeds like it wants to take over the world. It will grow in any pot and any CP substrate mix. I have them popping up in as varied conditions as pots of winter dry dormant Pings and tubs with Sarracenia purpurea that overwinter outside. It's super easy to grow from seed and fast growing. It reaches full size and can start flowering at just 4 months old.
This sundew is so tough it's a weed in collections. So, definitely a good choice for a complete begginer or as a subject for mini-bog plantings..
