Drosera binata, commonly known as the forked sundew, is a carnivorous plant native to eastern and southeastern Australia, Tasmania, and New Zealand. It thrives in wet, sunny habitats such as bogs, swamps, and coastal marshes, preferring consistently moist, sandy or peaty soils.
This species undergoes seasonal dormancy, especially in cooler climates, where it dies back to the ground and regrows from its rootstock. Dormancy duration varies by variety, with highland forms tolerating colder conditions.
Drosera binata is distinguished by its forked leaves, which range from simple two-pronged forms to complex multi-forked varieties. The leaves are covered in sticky glandular hairs that trap insects. It produces white, fragrant flowers in summer.
In terms of size, it typically grows 15–30 cm tall, with some varieties reaching greater heights. Leaf spread and height vary depending on environmental conditions and specific form.
Our clone produce leaves up to 30 cm and 10 branches.
