Soooo… I did a thing. It was painful (emotionally). It’s one thing to take cuttings and start new plants.
This was on a whole other level! 😳

It is a natural hybrid and will die if it sees much below freezing. It is a pretty nice looking plant and would grow well in your planter. PM me if you want some seeds once the current seed stalk matures its seeds."

😮 You weren’t kidding ‘very, very bright light’!! I would love some seeds… I’ve never tried sundew, but would be willing to try. Are they tricky to grow from seed, or a pretty ‘willing’ sprouter?
FriendshuhM: I just scatter the seed on the surface of wet Sphagnum peat moss and keep it in bright light. The seeds sprout on their own. You should notice I keep the pots in a tray of DI/rain/low mineral water. The first photo shows seedlings starting out.

PM your address and I'll send you some seeds. I have not checked recently, but when they are ready I'll send you some.
