Drosera macrantha, the bridal rainbow, is a scrambling or climbing perennial tuberous species in the carnivorous plant genus Drosera that is endemic to Western Australia. It grows in a variety of habitats, including winter-wet depressions in sandy, loamy, laterite, or quartzite soils. D. macrantha produces small, cup-shaped carnivorous leaves along a long stem that can be 0.16-1.5 m (0.5-4.9 ft) high as it climbs. Its 1 in (2.5 cm) white or pink flowers emerge from June to November, blooming earlier in the more northern range. Hardy outdoors in zones 9 and up, or grow indoors as a house plant.
Note: These seeds are extremely tiny! It's just how they naturally are. Reading glasses are recommended to aid with seeing them, even for those who don't normally require glasses to read. The seeds are shipped in either a wax envelope, or folder within a small paper. Open carefully, and sprinkle onto the growing medium. Do not bury the seeds. Germination information is below.
Seeds per packet: 5
Surface sow on mix of peat/perlite. Place in a very hot location, about 35-40C (95-104F) for 8 weeks. A humidity dome and full sun works well to achieve these temperatures. Keep wet and humid. Distilled, rain, reverse osmosis water only. After the 8 weeks of hot temperatures, then place at 20C (68F) for germination which occurs in 4-6 months, sometimes longer.
