Drosera capillaris
A small rosette sundew of sunny, permanently wet, acidic sands in pine savannas and seepage bogs, from the south-eastern United States through the Caribbean and Central America to northern South America. It needs full sun, constant wet feet with pure water, and warmth; it is perennial in warm regions but can behave as an annual further north.
Where it grows wild
Seepage bogs, wet pine savannas and flatwoods, grassy wet sands and ditch edges. The soil is acidic, sandy and nutrient-poor and stays wet, while the plants sit in full sun among low grasses and sedges.
A lowland plant. Few records carry an elevation; the measured sites are all below about 25 m on the Gulf and Atlantic coastal plains.
