I have seeds of D. capillaris and D. intermedia available, and in some weeks
I'll have D. burmannii and U. subulata. If you are interested in any of them
we can trade.
It's not D. filiformis ssp filiformis, since that would make it the hardy variety found growing in Canada. The 'Florida All-Red' variety doesn't need dormancy, thus it's ranking would be different.
I think there might be some confusion here. "Florida all red" doesn't have to go dormant, but when given a winter photo period, it will. At least that's my understanding of this form.
For example, you could grow it in a terrarium or other controlled environment and it would be just fine with a summer photo period all year long.
Yes, Jeremy's interpretation is correct. I have grown my D. filiormis "Florida All-Red" plants from seed (I think from you Jeremy?) and they have grown indoors without dormancy for about 2 years now. They show no sign of slowing down after all this time. They're a great sundew for sure!
manny, i may or may not have some viable seeds once the flowers ripen on this plant (flowers not shown):
Yes, they look very similar, except this one does not go dormant at all if you keep it wet, warm, and give it a long enough photoperiod. I also got my seeds from ebay. As I said- this is an old pic but the pictured plant has been growing for 2 years without dormancy. It's possible that you have D. filiformis "Florida All-Red", but if the soil gets dry at some point or you have too little of a photoperiod, this could trigger dormancy.
