Spatulate leaf sundew

Drosera intermedia,  Spatulate leaf sundew, is native to Eastern North America from the Canadian Maritime down the Atlantic coast and parts of the Gulf coast. The Spatulate leaf sundew is a small plant standing 2-3” in height and flowering with ¼” white flowers 5” above the foliage.  Spoon shaped leaves with sticky hairs curl around insect prey!  In mass they are a great addition to any bog garden and can be sown on saturated logs floating in a pond. Drosera intermedia thrives in full sun.
