This sundew will take over your bog, but in a beautiful, non-combative way! This Sundew is one of the most prolific Sundew I've ever encountered, it also grows as a perennial- forming hibernaculum in winter. Reseeds happily in mid-to-late summer (but seeds won't germinate until spring). We find ourselves accidentally grazing across the mucilage whenever we work with the bog. I wouldn't say this is a must-have but there's a pleasure seeing it sparkle every morning.
