Drosera dielsiana
A compact rosetted sundew from summer-rainfall grassland in eastern South Africa, Eswatini, Mozambique, Zimbabwe and Malawi. It grows in full sun on wet sandy or peaty ground by streams and seepages, often among short grass on sandstone or quartzite. In cultivation it behaves like other easy African rosette sundews: a sunny water tray and a cooler, slightly drier winter.
Where it grows wild
Montane and highveld grassland: wet sandy soil among sandstone or quartzite rocks by small streams, seepage over rock in tussock grassland, moist black loam along streams, and bare ground in very short grassland on ridges. Some labels note plants in the light shade of grass tussocks.
Wild records with elevations range from about 430 m to 2,300 m, with most between 1,600 and 2,100 m on the escarpment and highland grasslands.
